HOA and FMO
A Partnership Working for You

  For more than 20 years after the Federation of Manufactured Home Owners of Florida was first organized, the FMO community units acted as the representatives of all the residents within their communities for various purposes including discussions or negotiations with park owners. The local FMO units informed the residents within the park about mobile/manufactured home issues and coordinated with the state organization to advance the rights of homeowners on a statewide basis. The incorporated homeowners association was not provided for in the law until 1984.
    As a result of the efforts of the FMO, the Legislature established a study commission to review mobile home laws and the unique relationship between park residents and park owners within a rental park. As a direct result of the efforts of the FMO, Florida Statutes Chapter 723 was enacted and it provides for many of the protections that mobile home owners enjoy today. One portion of that legislation permitted  tenants in rental mobile home parks to incorporate a homeowners association that could act as a representative of all of the residents within the park who are members of the association in purchasing the park, negotiating rent increases, and in other areas of importance to the residents.
    Over the years, since that legislation was passed proving for homeowners associations, the various FMO community representatives throughout the state have worked together with HOA’s in the communities to represent home owners in various ways. The HOA has not taken the place of the FMO  unit organization. They are both two separate organizations. Neither is superior to or has authority over the other.
    Both of these organizations serve separate and distinct functions which, when taken together, can accomplish the most results for mobile/manufactured home residents. The purpose of the FMO is to promote the general welfare and protect the rights and interests of manufactured home owners  in Florida by acting as a consumer advocacy association. The purpose of the HOA is to act as a united voice on behalf of the residents of the manufactured home community.
    The FMO has its own set of bylaws that detail how the Federation conducts business. The Bylaws explain such areas as FMO dues, who can be a member, the various committees, the various officers on the state, district and local level, as well as the duties of the officers. The FMO Bylaws do not have any application to the homeowners association. The homeowners association has its own separate set of bylaws and is not governed by the FMO. The bylaws of the HOA govern only the association  members, and has no authority over the FMO.
    The FMO and HOA, while separate organizations, have a common goal - protect the rights of manufactured home owner. The FMO on the State level, and the HOA representing home owners on the community level provides a partnership that gives the Crane Lakes homeowners protection of their investment they have made in their homes.
