A housing crisis has three parts: what a home costs, how many are for sale, and whether the people in them get to stay. In Florida the homeowner and condominium associations push on all three. HOA Spy indexes 104,659 Florida associations — the 27,377 with a unit count on file hold 1,518,436 homes between them. Their records show 10,296 foreclosure suits the associations brought against their own members, 460,412 claims of lien and 277,047 lis pendens recorded against homes, 48,999 court records in all, and 6,661 associations whose own corporation has lapsed or fallen out of standing. Every count on this page comes from official court dockets and county records, and every community named links to its own record; the dues and price figures are someone else's, dated and linked where they appear. Suits and liens are counts of filings, not of homes lost.
