## Senate Bill 906: Proposed Ombudsman Office for Homeowners' Associations Did Not Advance

### What Was Proposed

[Senate Bill 906](https://www.flsenate.gov/Session/Bill/2026/906) would have created an Office of the Homeowners' Association Ombudsman within the Division of Florida Condominiums, Timeshares, and Mobile Homes. The office would have been authorized to receive and investigate complaints from parcel owners regarding residential association development, construction, sale, lease, ownership, operation, and management.

### Proposed Authority and Operations

Under the bill's framework, the Division of Florida Condominiums, Timeshares, and Mobile Homes would have been authorized to issue citations and adopt rules related to homeowners' association matters. The Division would also have been required to maintain a toll-free telephone number accessible to parcel owners, creating a direct channel for complaint submission and inquiry.

### Legislative Outcome

[S0906 died in the Regulated Industries Committee](https://www.flsenate.gov/Session/Bill/2026/906) on March 13, 2026, and did not become law. No ombudsman office was established, and no changes to the Division's authority or complaint-handling procedures took effect.

### Bottom Line

S0906 represented a legislative proposal to expand oversight of homeowners' associations through a dedicated ombudsman function, but the measure did not survive committee review. The regulatory landscape remains unchanged from prior law. Boards and CAMs should monitor future legislative sessions for similar proposals, as they would materially affect complaint procedures and regulatory enforcement.
