Question:
If a married couple owns a home, but it is in only the wife’s name, can the husband vote on their behalf? Can the husband serve on the board or any committees?

Answer:
Hi Bruce,
Section 720.306(9)(a) of the Florida Statutes states that “Except as provided in paragraph (b), all members of the association are eligible to serve on the board of directors…”
Typically, the right to vote in an HOA election or serve on the board is generally determined by the ownership and title of the property. However, the governing documents of the HOA might contain additional provisions concerning the qualifications of board members. Additionally, the husband can normally be designated as proxy by the wife when it comes to voting on their behalf.
