Can an HOA Record Audio Inside a Community Building?

In this Law Call episode, Attorney Perry Young answers a question about whether a homeowners association can legally record audio inside a community center. He explains the difference between video and audio surveillance, the importance of posted notice, and when people have a “reasonable expectation of privacy.” Perry also discusses how Florida law may protect private activities like grief counseling, prayer requests, and Bible study. He advises homeowners to review HOA bylaws and work with the board to limit or turn off audio recording during sensitive meetings.
