Florida Statutes #373.185 gives homeowners the right to install drought tolerant landscaping using the 9 principles of Florida Friendly Landscaping. When the Board of Directors of a Homeowners' Association ignores or thinks they can pick and choose parts of the Statute they are not only doing a disservice to the community residents by wasting money on a lawsuit, they are ignoring the need to conserve water and reduce the amount of toxic chemicals from fertilizers and pesticides from entering into waterways that affect everyone. This is not just about homeowners' rights, it's about creating a safer environment for everyone.
