- Q. I live in Florida and my HOA board of directors changed the rules about parking on the street overnight.
- A: One would have to review your HOA documents and the recorded documents concerning your association. These docs typically state the process in which the docs may be amended. In terms of the fines, again, the HOA docs would have this information as well as the process for which a fine may even be imposed .
