MEADOWS ON the GREEN CONDOMINIUM ASSOCIATION, INC., Appellant, v. NATIONSTAR MORTGAGE, LLC, and Stuart Levy, Appellees.
    No. 4D14-3065.
    District Court of Appeal of Florida, Fourth District.
    Jan. 6, 2016.
    Jacob A. Brainard, Scott C. Davis and Michael H. Casanovér of Business Law Group, P.A., Tampa, for appellant.
    Ronald E. Kaufman of the Law Offices of Ronald E. Kaufman, P.A., and Lauren D. Levy of Levy Law Group, P.A., Coral Gables, for appellee Nationstar Mortgage, LLC.
   STEVENSON, J.

. This appeal involves a.dispute between Meadows on the Green Condominium Association, Inc. and .Nationstar Mortgage, LLC, the bank that purchased the subject property at the foreclosure sale. The issue is whether the trial court retained jurisdiction to determine the amount due to Meadows for unpaid assessments under the Condominium Act. See § 718.116, Fla. Stat. (2014). We find that the trial court lacked continuing jurisdiction to rule on the assessment issue because (1) the trial court did not expressly reserve jurisdiction to determine this:issue and'(2) the final judgment of foreclosure did not address the past-due assessments. PLCA Condo. Ass’n v. AmTrust-NP SFR Venture, LLC, 182 So.3d 668 (Fla. 4th DCA 2015).

Accordingly; we reverse the order on appeal and remand with .instructions to dismiss Nationstar’s motion to .enforce the final judgment for'lack of jurisdiction.

Reversed.

WARNER and FORST, JJ., concur.
