July 4th is a comin’ and so are the flags

Jul 3, 2018

July 4th brings out the patriotism in people but some condo and homeowners associations don’t necessarily share the same feelings, so what are your rights, as a owner, in the event anyone tries to stop you from flying Old Glory? 
 
It depends. If you want to display an oversized tattered U.S. flag in a non respectful and harmful manner, then your condo and homeowners association can ask you to take it down.
 
Otherwise, under Florida state law, your association may not stop you from displaying one U.S. flag, regardless of the association rules or regulations, so long as you follow the requirements listed below:
 
  • The flag is removable and transportable
  • It is made from cloth or plastic
  • It is not larger than 4.5 feet by 6 feet
  • The placement does not create any type of hazard or damage to any person or property  
 And of course, the flag must always be displayed in a proper and respectful manner.
  
Also, if your property has shared common areas, then the flag may not encroach, infringe or interfere with any other owner’s right to use a particular shared area or encroach upon and any other individual’s living area.
 
The Insurance Litigation team of public adjusters, loss assessment specialists and top-notch multilingual litigation attorneys wishes you a very happy, safe and fun filled 4th of July.
 
If your property was damaged during a tropical storm, hurricane or other severe weather event or if you have roof damage, roof leak, pipe burst, plumbing backup, water damage, wind damage, mold, smoke-fire damage, lightning, hail, flood, theft, vandalism, or construction defects DON’T WORRY. The ILG team will advocate on your behalf to see that you get the full benefits you are entitled to.
