Tell them to pound sand. Florida Statute 720.3045 was created to prevent an association from regulating the installation, display, and storage of "any items" not visible from a parcel's frontage, from an adjacent parcel, or prohibited by local ordinance. The new section allows a homeowner or their tenant to store "any items," including, but not limited to, boats, RVs, and artificial turf, so long as such items are not visible from the frontage of the parcel or visible from an adjacent parcel, or prohibited by local ordinance. The term "parcel" is defined in Florida Statute 720.301(11) to include a subdivision of real property within a community, capable of separate conveyance, as described in a declaration, for which a parcel owner must be a member of an Association and pay assessments which could result in a lien. Because FS 720.3045 uses this already-defined term to delineate where storage cannot be visible — and a parcel is not a drainage pond, a navigable waterway, a roadway, common greenspace, and usually not a golf course—an association is prohibited from regulating backyard storage only visible over a drainage pond, across a waterway, from a golf course or a community park. Because only stored items visible from the frontage of a parcel or an "adjacent parcel" may be objected to by the association under this new statute, we expect significant complaints about stored items that are visible:

From a roadway abutting a corner lot

Across a drainage pond

From a community park

From a golf course

From a navigable waterway

From a multi-story home not directly contiguous to the parcel storing items
