Discussed a proposed ordinance requiring a Homeowners Association Compliance Affidavit with zoning permit applications in Lake County.

In plain words

A proposed ordinanceA county law. The Board adopts it at an advertised public hearing, and it stays in force until repealed; the county's ordinances are collected in the Code of Ordinances. Florida Statutes 125.66 that would change the zoning permit rules in the Lake County Code to require a Homeowners Association Compliance Affidavit with zoning permit applications.

What changes Nothing changes yet; the Board discussed the item and sought direction on whether to move it forward.

Who and the money Applies to property owners in Lake County who apply for zoning permits; the record states there is no fiscal impact.

Stated reason (staff, quoted): "Property owners subject to a declaration of covenants oftentimes are not aware that improvements to their lots must be reviewed and approved by their homeowners’ association."

The county's record does not say where this applies.

Why (staff, quoted) "Property owners subject to a declaration of covenants oftentimes are not aware that improvements to their lots must be reviewed and approved by their homeowners’ association."
