PROPERTY/IMMOVABLE: Provides relative to association documents of planned communities
HB 440 amends the laws governing the recorded documents for planned community associations to clarify how specific sections of the statute are referenced. The bill changes the language used in the official records to ensure that citations point directly to the correct subsections of the new law rather than using a different phrasing. This adjustment affects homeowners and property managers in planned communities by standardizing how their governing documents are legally described. The change is a technical update designed to improve clarity in legal records without altering the underlying rights or obligations of the communities involved.
