Florida Homeowners Association Terror

My mother recently told me about this woman who went to jail over her Homeowners Association’s complaint of a brown patch in her yard. I understood all of the steps that led there before reading these articles as this is a mirror of my own story. Check it out; and also read the follow up story about others in the neighborhood.

Contrary to what Chatgpt told me, it is not rare for an HOA to foreclose on a homeowner.

Neighborhood: Creek View

Location: Riverview, Florida (in Hillsborough County’s SouthShore region outside of Tampa)

HOA Property Management Company: Trowbridge Company, Inc. (Ron Trowbridge)

• HOA violations involving woman’s brown grass led to her being arrested and jailed for 7 days
• Homeowners face foreclosure in same neighborhood where woman was jailed over lawn complaints
