3. Establish your fining committee early.
"Without a fining committee, you cannot fine any units that are not following the
rules in Florida. The best you can do is send them notices. The fining committee
should be comprised of at least three homeowners who are not on the board and
who are not related to the board members."

4. Ask for specifics in writing.
"If a homeowner would like to report a violation, the council will need the
specifics, preferably in writing via email. The homeowner should provide the
date, time and brief description of the violation they saw to ensure accurate
enforcement."

5. Be consistent.
"Enforcement should be the same for all covenants. Don't pick and choose what
to enforce."
-Cities Management
6. Hold everyone to the same standard.
"Remember that nobody in the community is excluded from the rules, including
board and committee members. The rules must be enforced for everyone. If they
are not, you risk the appearance of selective enforcement."
