Can a Florida Homeowners Association in which membership is not required have the power to make assessments?
Homeowner associations are not voluntary: purchasing property governed by an association means that the owner is obligated to abide by the governing documents.
Additional memberships, such as use of pool, Golf course, club house and so forth may be optional.
Assessments are collected from owners to support the operation of the association's business. If your governing documents subject you to paying assessments, and the board has the power to assess them, then they are due and owing.
