Deed Restrictions as of January 2025 · Sec. 32 · Page 7
Declaration duration/automatic-renewal clause relies on private renewal language without addressing Florida Marketable Record Title Act (MRTA, Ch. 712) 30-year statutory extinguishment.
Under Florida’s Marketable Record Title Act (Ch. 712), residential HOA covenants expire by operation of law 30 years after their root of title despite private 50- or 90-year terms or automatic 10-year renewal clauses, unless the Board timely records a Summary Notice of Preservation (§ 712.05(2)(b)) or Statement of Marketable Title Action (§ 720.3032).
Furthermore, § 720.303(2)(e) requires the Board to consider the desirability of preserving the covenants from MRTA extinguishment at the first board meeting after the annual meeting each year.
