Estoppel & Closing Information
For title companies, real estate attorneys, and closing agents handling property sales in San Remo Shores.
This is not a statutory estoppel certificate
San Remo Shores Association is a voluntary, non-profit civic organization. It is not a mandatory homeowners’ association under Florida Statutes Chapter 720. Membership is optional, the Association has no recorded covenants, declarations, or bylaws, and it has no authority to levy assessments, place liens, impose fines, approve buyers, or restrict the use, sale, or transfer of any property in the neighborhood.
Because the Association is not a Chapter 720 HOA, the estoppel certificate requirements of Fla. Stat. § 720.30851 do not apply. This page is provided as a courtesy to help title agents, attorneys, and closing professionals quickly answer the questions typically asked on estoppel request forms. It is not legal advice and creates no estoppel against the Association.
