Garden Patio Villas has always had a Board of Directors. The Board of Directors is mandatory to run a Homeowners Association (HOA) per Florida Statutes 720.
We are a self-managed HOA which requires the Board to do a lot of difficult work so it can run smoothly as well as work as a legal non-profit corporation. The Board runs as the acting management company and saves all Members thousands of dollars! While acting as a management company, our Board Member gets paid for approximately 5-20 hours a week for completing Board Officer tasks, per our Bylaws.
If our HOA begins to use a Management company, their pay would immediately stop and our HOA would pay the Management Company thousands of dollars each month.
In recognition of the Board of Director’s responsibilities, hard work and efforts self-managing Garden Patio Villas Association, here is a list of our previous Board of Directors, including our current Board.
