Florida Condo Collections
The road map of your community’s governance is the budget. As community associations are not for profit entities the math is simple. What you expect to spend to maintain your association should equal the revenue you bring in.
The lion’s share of any community association’s revenue is drawn from the maintenance fees. Any shortfalls in this income can wreak havoc on your budget, which may cause an increase of dues, decreased services, an erosion in the lifestyle of members, special assessments, and even a reduction in property value.
This guide will provide some insight as to what a board of directors can do to protect the property that you have volunteered to govern.
