Fla. Stat. § 723.001 et seq. § 723.009
Division of Florida Condominiums, Timeshares, and Mobile Homes Trust Fund.
Operative Text
All proceeds from the fees, penalties, and fines imposed pursuant to this chapter shall be deposited into the Division of Florida Condominiums, Timeshares, and Mobile Homes Trust Fund created by s. 718.509. Moneys in this fund, as appropriated by the Legislature pursuant to chapter 216, may be used to defray the expenses incurred by the division in administering the provisions of this chapter.
Under Fla. Stat. § 723.009, any fees, penalties, or fines collected under Florida's mobile home park law are directed into the Division of Florida Condominiums, Timeshares, and Mobile Homes Trust Fund, which was originally established by s. 718.509. The Legislature controls how those pooled funds are spent, and the money may be used to cover the administrative costs of the division that oversees the law. This provision essentially creates a self-funding mechanism tying enforcement revenue back to regulatory operations.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Fla. Stat. § 723.009 establishes that any fines or penalties a mobile home park operator pays under this chapter flow directly into a dedicated state trust fund rather than into the general treasury. Compliant operators generally keep accurate records of fees assessed and paid, understanding that those amounts support the division's ongoing oversight activities. Awareness of this funding structure can inform how operators engage with the division during audits or compliance reviews.

Fla. Stat. § 723.009 means that fines and penalties collected from violations of Florida's mobile home park law are earmarked to fund the very agency that enforces residents' rights under this chapter. This funding structure supports the division's capacity to investigate complaints and administer the law on behalf of mobile home park residents. Tenants who believe a violation has occurred may consider contacting the Division of Florida Condominiums, Timeshares, and Mobile Homes or a tenant-rights organization to learn about available complaint processes.
