Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Florida
In 2023, my condo dues and special assessment totaled $6617. I received an email from the management company saying there will be a budget meeting in 4 days. Option 1 budget for 2024, assessments will be about $12,000. Option 2 budget for 2024, assessments will be about $16,000. Is it legal to have such a big increase? Is it legal to have short notice for meeting? What can be done to protect the owners of the property?

The answer depends on the terms of your condo documents, what the increased assessments are for, and whether the assessments were properly approved. In general, however, assessments of this type are permissible and proper.
