Dear Florida Homeowner,

CCFJ, Inc. is proud to publish the first Florida survey dealing with issues of homeowners' association legislative reform. It is the first survey of this kind where responses were publicly solicited via media, not by just contacting special interest groups.

We tabulated 1,033 valid responses and here are results and analyses:

Summary and Comments: http://www.ccfj.net/CCFJHOASURVEY.html

I would like to thank you all again for submitting your survey responses. Your help is very much appreciated. Without your help it wouldn't have been possible to create such an informative survey.

We received responses from all over Florida -- and the answers are similar. Everybody seems to be in total agreement. The conclusion: Florida Statutes 720 need a serious legislative overhaul -- and Florida HOAs need a regulatory agency with strong enforcement power.

Please note:

Question No. 4: ACCOUNTABILITY OF DIRECTORS received the highest priority rating with 96.9% affirmative votes. The many comments explained why!

Please read the results and analyses of the survey carefully -- it's interesting reading when you consider what we always have been told by special interest groups! This survey clearly shows how Florida's citizens really feel!

We hope that our elected officials TAKE NOTE!

If you have any questions specific to the survey, please contact David I. Goldenberg, Ph.D., who analyzed the survey data, at: dave@ccfj.net .

Thank you again for your help with our project!

And now please help to make our legislators understand that we really mean business. A big HOA reform bill will be filed by State Representative Julio Robaina and Senator Alex Villalobos. But they need all our help to push this bill through Florida's legislature.

Take care,

Jan
