Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Florida

Home Owner Association

Are there any legal regulations on what Home Owner's Associations have to provide ?

My mother is retired and lives in Florida, the HOA says they are not required to publish a budget, allow residents to vote on spending, are not taking bids for improvements jobs - (farming it out to relatives & friends. There are 53 homes, they want $125 per year per house. There are no sidewalks, no mowing, no security, no services - and they say they dont have to account where the money goes !
