Labor performed on, or materials furnished for, the installation of an electric vehicle charging station may not be the basis for filing a lien under Part I of Chapter 713, Florida Statutes, against the Association, but such a lien may be filed against the unit owner.If the unit owner or his successor decides there is no longer a need for the electronic vehicle charging station, such person is responsible for the cost of removal.The unit owner installing the charging station will be responsible for the cost for the installation, as well as maintenance to such station, related liability insurance, the association’s insurance premium increase and electricity cost, measured through a separate meter.The installation is subject to a number of restrictions provided by the statute, such as complying with applicable building codes and not causing irreparable damage to the condominium property. Condominium associations may not prohibit a unit owner from installing an electric vehicle charging station within the boundaries of the unit owner’s limited common element parking area.Stat.Īlterations or Additions to Condominium Property – § 718.113 The arbitrator may award reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs to the respondents if they prevail, if the arbitrator makes a finding that the petitioner’s claim is frivolous. A board member who is successful in challenging a recall is entitled to recover reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs from the respondents. If the arbitrator determines the recall was invalid, then the petitioning board member shall immediately be reinstated and the recall is considered to be null and void. An owner’s petition may challenge the facial validity of the written agreement, ballots filed or the substantial compliance with the procedural requirements for the recall.A unit owner or unit owner’s representative may now challenge the board’s determination of a recall’s facial validity.If a recall is determined to be facially valid, then the recall of the member, or members, is effective immediately upon the conclusion of the board meeting.Homeowners’ associations are now allowed to give notice by electronic transmission to parcel owners who have provided written consent and an e-mail address or fax number for such purpose.Condominium and cooperative owners who consent to receiving notices electronically are responsible for removing or bypassing filters that may block receipt of mass e-mails sent to members on behalf of the association in the course of giving electronic notices.Associations are still required to physically post meeting notices on the property. This notice must be sent to all owners who have provided their e-mails as an official record. Any rule adopted must include a requirement that the electronic notice be sent in the same manner as a notice for a meeting of the members, and must include a hyperlink to the website where the notice is posted. Community associations may adopt rules and procedures for noticing owner meetings and agendas on a website, so long as the time requirement for noticing such meetings is met.
