Basis Of Financial Statement Presentation [Abstract]
Basis Of Financial Statement Presentation	1. Basis of Financial Statement Presentation  BBX Capital Corporation and its subsidiaries (the “Company” or, unless otherwise indicated or the context otherwise requires, “we,” “us,” or “our”) is a Florida-based diversified holding company. BBX Capital Corporation as a standalone entity without its subsidiaries is referred to as “BBX Capital.” The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information. Accordingly, these financial statements do not include all of the information and disclosures required by GAAP for complete financial statements.  In management’s opinion, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments, which include normal recurring adjustments, that are necessary for a fair statement of the condensed consolidated financial condition of the Company at September 30, 2018; the condensed consolidated results of operations and comprehensive income of the Company for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017; the condensed consolidated changes in equity of the Company for the nine months ended September 30, 2018; and the condensed consolidated cash flows of the Company for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017. Operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2018 or any other future period.  These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes are presented as permitted by Form 10-Q and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017 (the “2017 Annual Report”) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 9, 2018 .  The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of all of BBX Capital ’s wholly-owned subsidiaries, other entities in which BBX Capital or its subsidiaries hold controlling financial interests, and any VIEs in which BBX Capital or one of its consolidated subsidiaries is deemed the primary beneficiary of the VIE. All significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.  Certain amounts for prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the current period’s presentation. The Company’s adoption of the new revenue recognition accounting standard on a full retrospective basis required the Company to restate certain previously reported results. For further details regarding the impact of adopting new accounting pronouncements, see “Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncement s ” section below. In addition, the Company also reclassified $ 19.5 million of loans receivable to other assets in its condensed consolidated statement of financial condition as of December 31, 2017.  The Company’s principal investments include Bluegreen Vacations Corporation (“Bluegreen” or “Bluegreen Vacations”), real estate and real estate joint ventures, and middle market operating businesses.  Bluegreen is a leading vacation ownership company that markets and sells VOIs and manages resorts in leisure and urban destinations. Bluegreen’s resort network includes 45 Club Resorts (resorts in which owners in the Bluegreen Vacation Club (“Vacation Club”) have the right to use most of the units in connection with their VOI ownership) and 24 Club Associate Resorts (resorts in which owners in Bluegreen’s Vacation Club have the right to use a limited number of units in connection with their VOI ownership). Bluegreen’s Club Resorts and Club Associate Resorts are primarily located in popular, high-volume, “drive-to” vacation locations, including Orlando, Las Vegas, Myrtle Beach and Charleston, among others. Through Bluegreen’s points-based system, the approximately 216,000 owners in Bluegreen’s Vacation Club have the flexibility to stay at units available at any of its resorts and have access to approximately 11,100 other hotels and resorts through partnerships and exchange networks. Bluegreen’s sales and marketing platform is supported by exclusive marketing relationships with nationally-recognized consumer brands, such as Bass Pro and Choice Hotels. These marketing relationships drive sales within Bluegreen’s core demographic.  Prior to 2009, Bluegreen’s vacation ownership business consisted solely of the sale of VOIs in resorts that it developed or acquired. While it continues to conduct such sales and development activities, Bluegreen now also derives a significant portion of its revenue from its capital-light business model, which utilizes Bluegreen’s expertise and infrastructure to generate both VOI sales and recurring revenue from third parties without the significant capital investment generally associated with the development and acquisition of resorts. Bluegreen’s capital-light business activities include sales of VOIs owned by third-party developers pursuant to which Bluegreen is paid a commission (“fee-based sales”) and sales of VOIs that it purchases under just-in-time (“JIT”) arrangements with third-party developers or from secondary market sources. In addition, Bluegreen provides resorts and resort developers with other fee-based services, including resort management, mortgage servicing, title services and construction management. Bluegreen also offers financing to qualified VOI purchasers, which generates significant interest income.  Prior to the fourth quarter of 2017, Woodbridge Holdings, LLC (“Woodbridge”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of BBX Capital, owned 100% of Bluegreen ’s common stock . During the fourth quarter of 2017, Bluegreen completed an initial public offering (“IPO”) of its common stock in which Bluegreen sold to the public 3,736,723 shares of its common stock and Woodbridge, as a selling shareholder, sold to the public 3,736,722 shares of Bluegreen’s common stock. As a result of Bluegreen’s IPO, BBX Capital currently owns 90% of Bluegreen ’s common stock through Woodbridge.  The Company’s real estate investments include real estate joint ventures and the acquisition, development , ownership, financing, and management of real estate. The Company’s investments in middle market operating businesses include Renin Holdings, LLC (“Renin”), a company that manufactures products for the home improvement industry, and investments in confectionery businesses through its wholly-owned subsidiary, BBX Sweet Holdings, LLC (“BBX Sweet Holdings”). The Company’s investments in confectionery businesses include IT’SUGAR, LLC (“IT’SUGAR”), a specialty candy retailer with over 90 retail locations in 26 states and Washington, D.C. that was acquired by BBX Sweet Holdings in June 2017.  BBX Capital has two classes of common stock. Holders of the Class A common stock are entitled to one vote per share, which in the aggregate represents 22% of the combined voting power of the Class A common stock and the Class B common stock. Class B common stock represents the remaining 78% of the combined vote. The percentage of total common equity represented by Class A and Class B common stock was 85% and 15% , respectively, at September 30, 2018. Class B common stock is convertible into Class A common stock on a share for share basis at any time at the option of the holder.  Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements  The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) has issued the following Accounting Standards Updates (“ASU”) and guidance relevant to the Company’s operations which were adopted as of January 1, 2018:  ASU No. 2014-09 – Revenue Recognition (Topic 606): In May 2014, the FASB issued a new standard related to revenue recognition (as subsequently clarified and amended by various ASUs). Under the new standard, revenue is recognized when an entity satisfies a performance obligation by transferring to a customer control over promised goods or services and is recognized in an amount that reflects the consideration which the entity expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. In addition, the standard requires disclosure of the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers.  The Company adopted the standard on January 1, 2018 under the full retrospective method , and accordingly, results for prior periods have been adjusted to apply the new standard as shown below.  The adoption of the standard affected Bluegreen in the following areas: (i) gross versus net presentation for payroll and insurance premium reimbursements related to resorts managed by Bluegreen and on behalf of third parties and (ii) the timing of the recognition of VOI revenue related to the removal of certain bright line tests regarding the determination of the adequacy of the buyer’s commitment under prior industry-specific guidance. Bluegreen concluded that the recognition of fee-based sales commissions, ancillary revenues, and rental revenues remained materially unchanged.  The adoption of the standard on the Company’s real estate activities results in recognizing revenue sooner for contingent consideration on sales of real estate inventory.  The adoption of the standard did not materially affect revenue recognition associated with the Company’s trade sales. Retail trade sales performance obligations are generally satisfied at the time of the sales transaction as customers of the retail business typically pay in cash at the time of transfer of the promised goods, while wholesale trade sales performance obligations are generally satisfied when the promised goods are shipped by the Company or received by the customer. However, the Company has historically recognized shipping and handling costs in selling, general and administration expenses, and upon the adoption of the standard, the Company began accounting for such costs as a fulfillment cost in cost of trade sales.  The Company has elected to use the following practical expedients in connection with the adoption of ASU 2014-09:  · We utilize the transaction price upon completion of the contract for certain contracts with customers; · We do not disclose the value of unsatisfied performance obligations for contracts with an original expected length of one year or less or unsatisfied performance obligations or unsatisfied promises to transfer a distinct good or service that forms a part of a single performance obligation recognized over time. See Note 2 for a further description of variable consideration identified in contracts with customers; · We expense all marketing and sales costs as incurred; · We exclude from the transaction price all taxes assessed by a governmental authority that are imposed on a specified transaction concurrent with the closing thereof and are collected by the Company from a customer; · We do not disclose remaining performance obligations for variable consideration when the variable consideration is allocated entirely to a wholly unsatisfied performance obligation; · We do not disclose remaining performance obligations when revenue is recognized based on the Company’s right to invoice; · We account for shipping and handling activities that occur after the control of the goods is transferred to a customer as fulfillment activities instead of a separate performance obligation; · We recognize incremental costs of obtaining a contract as an expense when incurred if the amortization period of the asset is one year or less; and · We do not adjust the transaction price for the effects of a significant financial component if we expect, at the contract inception, that the performance obligations will be satisfied within one year or less.  ASU No. 2017-05, Other Income – Gains and Losses from the Derecognition of Nonfinancial Assets (Subtopic 610-20). This standard provides guidance on the recognition of gains and losses from the transfer of nonfinancial assets to non-customers and requires that an entity must identify each distinct nonfinancial asset or in substance nonfinancial asset promised to a non-customer or counterparty and derecognize each asset when the counterparty obtains control of the asset.  This standard significantly changed the guidance on the transfer of real estate to unconsolidated joint ventures. Under prior guidance, the transfer of real estate to an unconsolidated joint venture was accounted for as a partial sale, resulting in the recognition of a partial gain, and the noncontrolling interest retained was measured at historical cost, resulting in a basis adjustment to the seller’s investment in the joint venture. In addition, the partial gain could be deferred if the sale did not satisfy certain criteria for gain recognition. As a result, the Company previously accounted for the transfer of land to certain unconsolidated real estate joint ventures for initial capital contributions as partial sales, resulting in deferred gains and joint venture basis adjustments. However, under the new standard, the full gain is recognized upon the transfer of control of real estate to an unconsolidated joint venture, and any noncontrolling interest retained is measured at fair value.  The Company adopted the standard on January 1, 2018 under the full retrospective method and, accordingly, prior years’ results have been adjusted to apply the new standard as shown below.  The following represents the impact of the a doption of ASU 2014-09 and ASU 2017-05 on our consolidated statements of financial condition as of December 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016 and consolidated statements of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30 , 2017 and the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016 (in thousands, except per share data):      For the Three Months Ended September 30, 2017  Prior to Adoption ASU 2014-09 Adjustments ASU 2017-05 Adjustments As Adjusted  Statement of Operations:  Sales of VOIs $ 61,687 766 -

Subsequent to the March 9, 2018 filing date, the Company revised its calculation of the expected impact of the full retrospective adoption of both standards, and the amounts included in the above tables reflect these revisions. The adoption of the new standards had no impact on our consolidated statements of cash flows.  ASU No. 2017-09, Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718). This update was issued to provide guidance on determining which changes to the terms and conditions of share-based compensation awards require an entity to apply modification accounting under Topic 718. Under this guidance, an entity must apply modification accounting to changes to terms or conditions of a share-based compensation award unless there is no change in the fair value, vesting or classification of the modified award as compared to the original award. The standard is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017 and for interim periods within those annual periods. The Company adopted this standard on January 1, 2018. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.  ASU No. 2017-01, Business Combinations - Clarifying the Definition of a Business. This update was issued to clarify the determination of whether an entity has acquired or sold a business. The definition of a business affects many areas of accounting, including acquisitions, disposals, goodwill and consolidations, and the standard is intended to assist entities in the determination of whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions or disposals of assets or businesses. The standard is expected to result in more acquisitions being accounted for as asset purchases instead of business combinations. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company adopted this standard on January 1, 2018 using the prospective transition method. The adoption of this standard resulted in the Company accounting for Bluegreen’s acquisition of the Éilan Hotel & Spa in April 2018 as an asset acquisition, and consequently, all transaction costs were capitalized as part of the assets acquired.  ASU No. 2016-01 –– Financial Instruments – Overall (Topic 825) – Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. This update requires all equity investments in unconsolidated entities (other than those accounted for using the equity method of accounting) to generally be measured at fair value through earnings and eliminates the available-for-sale classification for equity securities with readily determinable fair values and the cost method for equity investments without readily determinable fair values. However, the update allows entities to elect to record equity investments without readily determinable fair values at cost, less impairments. This update also simplifies the impairment assessment for equity investments and requires the use of an exit price when measuring the fair value of financial instruments for disclosure purposes. The amendments in this standard are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company adopted this standard on January 1, 2018 and recognized a cumulative effect adjustment of $0.3 million, net of tax, to accumulated earnings as of January 1, 2018 for equity securities with readily determinable fair values. The standard was adopted prospectively for $2.4 million of equity securities without readily determinable fair values. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.  ASU No. 2018-02 –– Income Statement – Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220) – Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income. This update provides an entity with an option to reclassify to accumulated earnings the stranded tax effects within accumulated other comprehensive income associated with the reduction in the corporate income tax rate from the enactment of the U.S. Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Tax Reform Act”). The Company elected to adopt this update as of January 1, 2018 and reclassified the stranded income tax effects from the Tax Reform Act into accumulated earnings as of the adoption date. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.  ASU No. 2018-05 –– Amendments to SEC Paragraphs Pursuant to SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118. This update formally amended Topic 740 for the guidance previously provided by SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118 (“SAB 118”) related to the application of Topic 740 in the reporting period in which the Tax Reform Act was signed into law. The Company adopted SAB 118 in the fourth quarter of 2017, and therefore, the Company’s subsequent adoption of ASU 2018-05 in the first quarter of 2018 had no impact on its accounting for income taxes in the first quarter of 2018. See Note 10 for additional information regarding the Company’s accounting for income taxes and the Tax Reform Act.  Future Adoption of Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements  The FASB has issued the following accounting pronouncements and guidance relevant to the Company’s operations which have not been adopted as of September 30, 2018 :  ASU No. 2016-02 – Leases (Topic 842), as subsequently amended by ASU 2018-01 and ASU 2018-11 . This standard will require assets and liabilities to be recognized on the balance sheet of a lessee for the rights and obligations created by leases of assets with terms of more than 12 months. For income statement purposes, the standard retained a dual model which requires leases to be classified as either operating or finance based on criteria that are largely similar to those applied in current lease accounting, but without explicit bright lines. This standard also requires extensive quantitative and qualitative disclosures, including significant judgments made by management, to provide greater insight into the extent of revenue and expense recognized and expected to be recognized from existing leases.  This standard, which will be effective for the Company on January 1, 2019, permits two methods of adoption: a modified retrospective transition method or an optional transition method. The modified retrospective transition method applies the standard’s transition guidance as of the beginning of the earliest comparable period presented in an entity’s financial statements, which results in financial statements for the current periods that are comparable to the financial statements for the prior periods presented. The optional transition method applies the transition guidance on the date of adoption with a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings. Under this transition method, comparable prior periods in an entity’s financial statements in the year of adoption would continue to be reported in accordance with Topic 840, including the disclosures of Topic 840.  The Company expects that the implementation of this new standard will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures as the Company ha d aggregate future minimum lease payments of $147.5 million at September 30, 2018 under its current non-cancelable lease agreements with various expiration dates between 2018 and 2030. The Company anticipates the recognition of additional assets and corresponding liabilities related to these leases on its consolidated statement of financial condition.  The Company anticipates adopting the standard on January 1, 2019 under the optional transition method, and accordingly, will not apply the new guidance in comparable prior periods presented in its financial statements in the year of adoption. The Company anticipates electing certain practical expedients available under the transition guidance within the standard, including the package of practical expedients which would allow the Company to not have to reassess under the new standard prior conclusions about lease identification, classification, and initial direct costs. The Company also expects to make accounting policy elections by class of underlying asset to not apply the recognition requirements of this standard to leases with a term of twelve months or less and to not separate non-lease components from lease components. If the election is made to not separate non-lease components from lease components, each separate lease component and the non-lease components associated with that lease component will instead be accounted for as a single lease component for lease classification, recognition, and measurement purposes.  The Company is currently in the process of evaluating its existing lease portfolio, including accumulating all of the necessary information required to properly account for leases under this standard . Other significant implementation matters include assessing the impact on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting and documenting and implementing new processes for accounting for its lease agreements.  ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326), Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. This standard introduces an approach of estimating credit losses on certain types of financial instruments based on expected losses and will expand the disclosure requirements regarding an entity’s assumptions, models, and methods for estimating its allowance for credit losses. In addition, the standard will require entities to disclose the amortized cost balance for each class of financial asset by credit quality indicator, disaggregated by the year of origination (i.e., by vintage year). This standard will be effective for the Company on January 1, 2020. Early adoption is permitted beginning on January 1, 2019. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that adopting ASU 2016-13 may have on its consolidated financial statements.  ASU No. 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820), Disclosure Framework – Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement. This standard modifies the disclosure requirements in Topic 820 related to the valuation techniques and inputs used, uncertainty in measurement, and changes in measurements applied. This standard is effective for the Company in annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019 and for interim periods within those annual periods. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that ASU 2018-13 may have on its consolidated financial statement footnote disclosures. 

Revenue Recognition

Revenue Recognition [Abstract]
Revenue Recognition	2. Revenue Recognition  Sales of VOIs - Revenue is recognized for sales of VOIs after control of the VOI is deemed transferred to the customer, which is when the legal rescission period has expired on a binding executed VOI sales agreement and the collectability of the note receivable from the buyer, if any, is reasonably assured. Transfer of control of the VOI to the buyer is deemed to occur when the legal rescission period expires as the risk and rewards associated with VOI ownership are transferred to the buyer at that time. The Company records Bluegreen’s customer deposits from contracts within the legal rescission period in restricted cash and escrow deposits in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of financial condition, as such amounts are refundable until the legal rescission period has expired. In cases where construction and development of Bluegreen’s developed resorts has not been substantially completed, Bluegreen defers all of the revenues and associated expenses for the sales of VOIs until construction is substantially complete and the resort may be occupied.  Bluegreen generally offers qualified purchasers financing for up to 90% of the purchase price of VOIs. The typical financing provides for a term of ten years and a fixed interest rate, is fully amortizing in equal installments and may be prepaid without penalty. For sales of VOIs for which Bluegreen provides financing, Bluegreen reduces the transaction price for expected loan losses, which it considers to be variable consideration. To the extent Bluegreen determines that it is probable that a significant reversal of cumulative revenue recognized may occur, it records an estimate of variable consideration as a reduction to the transaction price of the sales of VOIs until the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is resolved. Bluegreen’s estimates of credit losses are based on the results of its static pool analysis, which relies on historical payment data for similar VOI notes receivable and tracks uncollectibles for each period’s sales over the entire life of the notes. Bluegreen also considers whether historical economic conditions are comparable to then current economic conditions, as well as variations in underwriting standards. Bluegreen reviews its estimate of variable consideration on at least a quarterly basis. VOI sales where no financing was provided do not have any material significant payment terms.  Rental operations, including accommodations provided through the use of Bluegreen’s sampler program, are accounted for as incidental operations whereby incremental carrying costs in excess of incremental revenues are expensed as incurred. During each of the periods presented, Bluegreen’s aggregate rental revenue and sampler revenue was less than the aggregate carrying cost of its VOI inventory. Accordingly, Bluegreen recorded such revenue as a reduction to the carrying cost of VOI inventory, which is included in cost of other fee-based services in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income for each period.  Fee-based sales commission s - Fee-based sales commission r evenue is recognized when a sales transaction with a VOI purchaser is consummated in accordance with the terms of the fee-based sales agreement with the third-party developer , it is probable that a significant reversal of such revenue will not occur, and the related consumer rescission period has expired.  Other fee-based service s and cost reimbursements - Revenue associated with Bluegreen’s other fee-based services (which are described below) is recognized as follows:  · Resort and club management revenue and related cost reimbursements are recognized as services are rendered. These services provided to the resort homeowner associations (“ HOAs ”) are comprised of day-to-day services to operate the resort , including management services and certain accounting and administrative functions. Management services provided to the Vacation Club include managing the reservation system and providing owner, billing and collection services. Bluegreen’s management contracts are typically structured as cost-plus , with an initial term of three years and automatic one -year renewals. Bluegreen believe s these services to be a series of distinct goods and services to be accounted for as a single performance obligation over time and recognize s revenue as the customer receives the benefits of its services. Bluegreen allocate s variable consideration to the distinct good or service within the series, such that revenue from management fees and cost reimbursements is recognized in each period as the uncertainty with respect to such variable consideration is resolved. · Resort t itle fee revenue is recognized when escrow amounts are released and title documents are completed. · Rental revenues are recognized on a daily basis , which is consistent with the period for which the customer benefits from such service. Revenue from the sampler program is typically recognized within a year from sale as guests complete stays at the resorts. · Mortgage servicing revenue is recognized over time as services are rendered.  Bluegreen’s cost of other fee-based services consists of the costs associated with the various activities described above, as well as developer subsidies and maintenance fees on its unsold VOIs.  Trade sales – Revenue is recognized on trade sales as follows:  · Revenue is recognized on wholesale trade sales when control of the products is transferred to customers, which generally occurs when the products are shipped or the customer s accept delivery. Wholesale trade sales typically have payment terms between 10 and 90 days. Certain customer trade sale contracts have provisions for right of return, volume rebates, and price concessions. These types of discounts are accounted for as variable consideration, and the Company uses the expected value method with constraints to calculate the estimated reduction in the trade sales revenue. The inputs used in the expected value method include historical experience with the customer, sales forecasts, and outstanding purchase orders. · Revenue is recognized on retail trade sales at the point of sale, which occurs when products are sold at the Company’s retail locations.  Sales of r eal estate inventory - Revenue is generally recognized on sales of real estate inventory to customers when the sales are closed and title passes to the buyer. The Company generally receives payment from the sale of real estate inventory at the date of closing. In addition, c ertain real estate sales contracts provide for a contingent purchase price which is accounted for as variable consideration. The Company estimates the amount of variable consideration that may be recognized upon the closing of the real estate transaction based on an expected value methodology. The estimate of variable consideration is recognized as revenue to the extent that it is not probable that a significant revenue reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognized will occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is subsequently resolved. The inputs used in the expected value model include current sales prices (net of incentives), historical contingent purchase price receipts, and sales contracts on similar properties.  Interest i ncome - Bluegreen provides financing for a significant portion of sales of its owned VOIs. Bluegreen recognizes interest income from financing VOI sales on the accrual method as earned based on the outstanding principal balance, interest rate, and terms stated in each individual financing agreement. Bluegreen’s VOI notes receivable are carried at amortized cost, less an allowance for loan losses. In addition, loan origination costs are deferred and recognized over the life of the related notes receivable. Interest income is suspended, and previously accrued but unpaid interest income is reversed, on all delinquent notes receivable when principal or interest payments are more than 90 days contractually past due and is not resumed until such loans are less than 90 days past due. As of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, $17.0 million and $12.9 million, respectively, of Bluegreen’s VOI notes receivable were more than 90 days past due, and accordingly, were not accruing interest income. After 120 days, Bluegreen’s VOI notes receivable are generally written off against the allowance for loan losses.  Interest income from other loans receivable originated by the Company is recognized on accruing loans when management determines that it is probable that all of the principal and interest will be collected in accordance with the loan’s contractual terms. Interest income is recognized on non-accrual loans on a cash basis. Loans receivable are included in other assets in the Company’s statement of financial condition.  Net gains on sales of real estate assets – Net gains on sales of real estate assets represents sales of assets to non-customers. Gains (or losses) are recognized from sales to non-customers when the control of the asset has been transferred to the buyer, which generally occurs when title passes to the buyer.

Consolidated Variable Interest

Consolidated Variable Interest Entities [Abstract]
Consolidated Variable Interest Entities	3. Consolidated Variable Interest Entities  Bluegreen sells VOI notes receivable through special purpose finance entities. These transactions are generally structured as non-recourse to Bluegreen and are designed to provide liquidity for Bluegreen and to transfer the economic risks and benefits of the notes receivable to third parties. In a securitization, various classes of debt securities are issued by the special purpose finance entities that are generally collateralized by a single tranche of transferred assets, which consist of VOI notes receivable. Bluegreen services the securitized notes receivable for a fee pursuant to servicing agreements negotiated with third parties based on market conditions at the time of the securitization.  In these securitizations, Bluegreen generally retains a portion of the securities and continues to service the securitized notes receivable. Under these arrangements, the cash payments received from obligors on the receivables sold are generally applied monthly to pay fees to service providers, make interest and principal payments to investors, and fund required reserves, if any, with the remaining balance of such cash retained by Bluegreen; however, to the extent the portfolio of receivables fails to satisfy specified performance criteria (as may occur due to, among other things, an increase in default rates or credit loss severity) or other trigger events occur, the funds received from obligors are required to be distributed on an accelerated basis to investors. Depending on the circumstances and the transaction, the application of the accelerated payment formula may be permanent or temporary until the trigger event is cured. As of September 30, 2018, Bluegreen was in compliance with all material terms under its securitization transactions, and no trigger events had occurred.  In accordance with applicable accounting guidance for the consolidation of VIEs, Bluegreen analyzes its variable interests, which may consist of loans, servicing rights, guarantees, and equity investments, to determine if an entity in which Bluegreen has a variable interest is a VIE. The analysis includes a review of both quantitative and qualitative factors. Bluegreen bases its quantitative analysis on the forecasted cash flows of the entity. Bluegreen bases its qualitative analysis on the structure of the entity, including its decision-making ability and authority with respect to the entity, and relevant financial agreements. Bluegreen also uses qualitative analysis to determine if Bluegreen must consolidate a VIE as the primary beneficiary. In accordance with applicable accounting guidance, Bluegreen has determined these securitization entities to be VIEs of which Bluegreen is primary beneficiary and, therefore, Bluegreen consolidates the entities into its financial statements.  Under the terms of certain VOI note sales, Bluegreen has the right to repurchase or substitute a limited amount of defaulted notes for new notes at the outstanding principal balance plus accrued interest. Bluegreen’s v oluntary repurchases and substitutions of defaulted notes during the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 were $4.4 million and $7.4 million, respectively. Bluegreen’s maximum exposure to loss relating to its non-recourse securitization entities is the difference between the outstanding VOI notes receivable and the notes payable, plus cash reserves and any additional residual interest in future cash flows from collateral.  The table below sets forth information regarding the assets and liabilities of Bluegreen’s consolidated VIEs included in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of financial condition (in thousands):      September 30, December 31,  2018 2017  Restricted cash $ 17,081 19,488  Securitized notes receivable, net 308,221 279,188  Receivable backed notes payable - non-recourse 335,680 336,421   The restricted cash and the securitized notes receivable balances disclosed in the table above are restricted to satisfy obligations of the VIEs.

Bluegreen’s VOI notes receivable bear interest at fixed rates.  Credit Quality of Notes Receivable and the Allowance for Loan Losses  Bluegreen monitors the credit quality of its receivables on an ongoing basis. Bluegreen holds large amounts of homogeneous VOI notes receivable and assesses uncollectibility based on pools of receivables as there are no significant concentrations of credit risk with any individual counterparty or groups of counterparties . In estimating future credit losses, Bluegreen does not use a single primary indicator of credit quality but instead evaluates its VOI notes receivable based upon a static pool analysis that incorporates the ag e of the respective receivables, default trends and prepayment rates by origination year, as well as the FICO scores of the borrowers.  The activity in Bluegreen’s allowance for loan losses (including notes receivable secured by homesites) was as follows (in thousands):      For the Nine Months Ended  September 30,  2018 2017  Balance, beginning of period $ 123,791 120,270  Provision for loan losses 35,866 32,066  Write-offs of uncollectible receivables (31,358) (31,581)  Balance, end of period $ 128,299 120,755   The percentage of gross notes receivable outstanding, by FICO score at origination, was as follows:      September 30, December 31,  2018 2017  FICO Score  700+ 56.00 % 54.00 %  600-699 40.00 41.00  <699 3.00 3.00  No score (1) 1.00 2.00  Total 100.00 % 100.00 %   (1) VOI notes receivable without a FICO score are primarily related to foreign borrowers.

The interest rate applicable to future borrowings under the NBA Receivables Facility is equal to the 30-day LIBOR plus 2.75% (with an interest rate floor of 3.50% ). All principal and interest payments received on pledged receivables are applied to principal and interest due under the facility , with the remaining balance being due by maturity , subject to the terms of the facility.  Pacific Western Facility – Bluegreen has a revolving VOI notes receivable hypothecation facility (the “Pacific Western Facility”) with Pacific Western Bank, which provides for advances on eligible VOI notes receivable pledged under the facility, subject to specified terms and conditions, during a revolving credit period. Maximum outstanding borrowings under the Pacific Western Facility are $40.0 million, subject to eligible collateral and customary terms and conditions. On August 15, 2018, the Pacific Western Facility was amended to extend the revolving advance period from September 2018 to September 2021 , extend the maturity date from September 2021 until September 2024 (in each case, subject to an additional 12 -month extension at the option of Pacific Western Bank) and amend the interest rate on borrowings as described below . Eligible “A” VOI notes receivable that meet certain eligibility and FICO score requirements, which Bluegreen believes are typically consistent with loans originated under its current credit underwriting standards, are subject to an 85% advance rate. The Pacific Western Facility also allows for certain eligible “B” VOI notes receivable (which have less stringent FICO score requirements) to be funded at a 53% advance rate. Through September 21, 2018, borrowings under the Pacific Western Facility bore interest at the then prevailing interest rates under the facility, which ranged from 30-day LIBOR plus 3.50% to 4.50% . P ursuant to the amendment to the Pacific Western Facility, effective September 21, 2018, all borrowings outstanding under the f acility bear interest at an annual rate equal to 30-day LIBOR plus 3.00% ; provided, however, that a portion of the borrowings, to the extent such borrowings are in excess of established debt minimums, will bear interest at 30-day LIBOR plus 2.75% . Principal repayments and interest on borrowings under the Pacific Western Facility are paid as cash is collected on the pledged VOI notes receivable, subject to future required decreases in the advance rates after the end of the revolving advance period, with the remaining balance being due by maturity , subject to the terms of the facility.  Quorum Purchase Facility - Bluegreen and Bluegreen/Big Cedar Vacations have a VOI notes receivable purchase facility (the “Quorum Purchase Facility”) with Quorum Federal Credit Union (“Quorum”), pursuant to which Quorum has agreed to purchase eligible VOI notes receivable in an amount of up to an aggregate $50.0 million purchase price, subject to certain conditions precedent and other terms of the facility. On April 6, 2018, the Quorum Purchase Facility was amended to extend the revolving purchase period from June 30, 2018 to June 30, 2020, and provided for a fixed interest rate of 4.95% per annum on advances made through September 30, 2018. The interest rate on advances made after September 30, 2018 will be set at the time of funding based on rates mutually agreed upon by all parties. The amendment also reduced the loan purchase fee applicable to advances from 0.50% to 0.25% and extended the maturity of the Quorum Purchase Facility from December 2030 to December 2032. Of the amounts outstanding under the Quorum Purchase Facility at September 30, 2018, $5.0 million accrues interest at a rate per annum of 4.75% , $29.9 million accrues interest at a rate per annum of 4.95% , $2.7 million accrues interest at a rate per annum of 5.0% , and $2.1 million accrues interest at a rate per annum of 5.5% . The Quorum Purchase Facility provides for an 85% advance rate on eligible receivables sold under the facility ; however, Quorum can modify this advance rate on future purchases subject to the terms and conditions of the Quorum Purchase Facility. Eligibility requirements for VOI notes receivable sold include, among others, that the obligors under the VOI notes receivable sold be members of Quorum at the time of the note sale. Subject to the performance of the collateral, Bluegreen or Bluegreen/Big Cedar Vacations, as applicable, will receive any excess cash flows generated by the VOI notes receivable transferred to Quorum under the facility (excess meaning after payment of customary fees, interest and principal under the facility) on a pro-rata basis as borrowers make payments on their VOI notes receivable. While ownership of the VOI notes receivable included in the Quorum Purchase Facility is transferred and sold for legal purposes, the transfer of these VOI notes receivable is accounted for as a secured borrowing for financial reporting purposes. The facility is nonrecourse.  Junior Subordinated Debentures  The table below sets forth information regarding the Company’s junior subordinated debentures (dollars in thousands):      September 30, December 31,  2018 2017  Effective Effective  Carrying Interest Carrying Interest Maturity  Amounts Rates (1) Amounts Rates (1) Years (2)  Woodbridge - Levitt Capital Trusts I - IV $ 66,302 6.14 - 6.20% $ 66,302 5.14 - 5.19% 2035 - 2036  Bluegreen Statutory Trusts I - VI 110,827 7.14 - 7.24% 110,827 6.18 - 6.59% 2035 - 2037  Unamortized debt issuance costs (1,218) (1,272)  Unamortized p urchase discount (39,680) (40,443)  Total junior subordinated debentures $ 136,231 $ 135,414    (1) Junior subordinated debentures bear interest at 3-month LIBOR plus a spread ranging from 3.80% to 4.90% . (2) All of the junior subordinated debentures were eligible for redemption by Woodbridge and Bluegreen, as applicable, as of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017.  Woodbridge and Bluegreen have each formed statutory business trusts (collectively, the “Trusts”), each of which issued trust preferred securities and invested the proceeds thereof in junior subordinated debentures of Woodbridge and Bluegreen, respectively. The Trusts are VIEs in which Woodbridge and Bluegreen, as applicable, are not the primary beneficiaries. Accordingly, the Company and its subsidiaries do not consolidate the operations of these Trusts; instead, the beneficial interests in the Trusts are accounted for under the equity method of accounting. Included in other assets as of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 was $5.9 million of equity in the Trusts. Interest on the junior subordinated debentures and distributions on the trust preferred securities are payable quarterly in arrears at the same interest rate.  During January 2017, Woodbridge purchased approximately $11.1 million of Levitt Capital Trust II (“LCTII”) trust preferred securities for $6.7 million and purchased approximately $7.7 million of Levitt Capital Trust III (“LCTIII”) trust preferred securities for $4.7 million, and in February 2017, Woodbridge delivered the purchased securities to the respective trusts in exchange for the cancellation of $11.1 million of Woodbridge’s junior subordinated debentures held by LCTII and $7.7 million of Woodbridge’s junior subordinated debentures held by LCTIII. As a result, in February 2017, Woodbridge recognized a $6.9 million gain associated with the cancellation of the notes, which is included in “Net gains on cancellation of junior subordinated debentures” in the Company’s c ondensed consolidated statement of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2017.  See Note 13 to the Company’s consolidated financial statements included in the 2017 Annual Report for additional information regarding the Company’s junior subordinated debentures.  As of September 30, 2018, BBX Capital and its subsidiaries were in compliance with all financial debt covenants under its debt instruments. As of September 30, 2018, Bluegreen had availability of approximately $122.8 million under its receivable-backed purchase and credit facilities, inventory lines of credit and corporate credit line, subject to eligible collateral and the terms of the facilities, as applicable. As of September 30, 2018, BBX Capital and its other subsidiaries had availability of approximately $27.9 million under revolving lines of credit, subject to eligible collateral and the terms of the facilities, as applicable.

Income Taxes [Abstract]
Income Taxes	1 0 . Income Taxes  BBX Capital and its subsidiaries file a consolidated federal income tax return and income tax returns in various state and foreign jurisdictions.  On December 22, 2017, the Tax Reform Act was signed into law. In addition to changes or limitations to certain tax deductions, including limitations on the deductibility of interest payable to related and unrelated lenders and further limiting deductible executive compensation, the Tax Reform Act permanently lowers the federal corporate tax rate to 21% from the previous maximum rate of 35% , effective for tax years commencing January 1, 2018. As a result of the Tax Reform Act, SAB 118 and ASU 2018-05 were issued to address the application of ASC 740 in situations in which an entity does not have the necessary information available, prepared, or analyzed in reasonable detail to complete the accounting for certain income tax effects of the Tax Reform Act. Under this guidance, an entity may record provisional amounts for the impact of the Tax Reform Act which may be revised during a one year “measurement period.” In accordance with this guidance, the Company remeasured its net deferred tax liabilities in the fourth quarter of 2017 due to the reduction of the corporate tax rate to 21% and recorded a provisional tax benefit of $45.3 million in its statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2017. During the nine months ended September 30, 2018, the Company reduced the provisional tax benefit recognized for the year ended December 31, 2017 by $2.8 million as a result of its analysis of the impact of the Tax Reform Act on the deductibility of certain compensation to covered employees. The Company continues to analyze the impact of the Tax Reform Act, which may differ, possibly materially, from the provisional amounts recorded by the Company due to, among other things, additional analysis, changes in interpretations and assumptions made by the Company, and additional regulatory guidance that may be issued. Therefore, the Company may recognize additional revisions during the one year measurement period in accordance with the guidance in SAB 118 and ASU 2018-05 and expects to complete its analysis prior to the end of 2018.  The Company’s effective income tax rate was approximately 36% during the nine months ended September 30, 2018, excluding the discrete income tax expense of $2.8 million related to the provisional adjustment described above, as compared to 44% during the nine months ended September 30, 2017. The Company’s effective income tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2018, excluding the impact of the provisional adjustment described above, was favorably impacted by the reduction in the federal corporate tax rate from 35% to 21% commencing on January 1, 2018, partially offset by limitations in the deductibility of compensation to covered employees.  Effective income tax rates for interim periods are based upon the Company’s current estimated annual rate, which varies based upon the Company’s estimate of taxable earnings and the mix of taxable earnings in the various states in which the Company operates. The Company’s effective tax rate was applied to income before income taxes reduced by net income attributable to noncontrolling interests in joint ventures taxed as partnerships.

Commitments And Contingencies [Abstract]
Commitments And Contingencies	1 1 . Commitments and Contingencies  In the ordinary course of business, BBX Capital and its subsidiaries are parties to lawsuits as plaintiff or defendant involving its operations and activities. Bluegreen is subject to claims or proceedings from time to time relating to the purchase, sale, marketing, or financing of VOIs or other business activities. Additionally, from time to time in the ordinary course of business, the Company is involved in disputes with existing and former employees, vendors, taxing jurisdictions and various other parties, and Bluegreen also receives individual consumer complaints, as well as complaints received through regulatory and consumer agencies, including Offices of State Attorneys General. The Company takes these matters seriously and attempts to resolve any such issues as they arise.  Reserves are accrued for matters in which management believes it is probable that a loss will be incurred and the amount of such loss can be reasonably estimated. Management does not believe that the aggregate liability relating to known contingencies in excess of the aggregate amounts accrued will have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations or financial condition. However, litigation is inherently uncertain , and the actual costs of resolving legal claims, including awards of damages, may be substantially higher than the amounts accrued for these claims and may have a material adverse impact on the Company’s results of operations or financial condition.  Adverse judgements and the costs of defending or resolving legal claims may be substantial and may have a material adverse impact on the Company’s financial statements. Management is not at this time able to estimate a range of reasonably possible losses with respect to matters in which it is reasonably possible that a loss will occur. In certain matters, management is unable to estimate the loss or reasonable range of loss until additional developments provide information sufficient to support an assessment of the loss or reasonable range of loss. Frequently in these matters, the claims are broad, and the plaintiffs have not quantified or factually supported their claim.  BBX Capital Litigation  Securities and Exchange Commission Complaint  In 2012, the SEC brought an action in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida against BCC and Alan B. Levan, BCC’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. Following an initial trial in 2014 and the reversal on appeal of certain judgments of the district court by the Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals, a second trial was held in 2017, and on May 8, 2017, the jury rendered a verdict in favor of BCC and Mr. Levan and against the SEC on all counts.  In connection with the Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals’ reversal of certain judgments in the first trial, which became final on January 31, 2017, and the resolution of the matter in favor of BCC and Mr. Levan in the second trial, BBX Capital received legal fees and costs reimbursements from its insurance carrier for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 of approximately $ 7.1 million as well as the release of a $4.6 million penalty assessed against BCC in the first trial. The legal fees and costs reimbursements and the release of the penalty are reflected in the Company’s condensed consolidated statement of operations in “Reimbursements of litigation costs and penalty” for the nine months ended September 30, 2017.  In Re BCC Merger Shareholder Litigation  On August 10, 2016, Shiva Stein filed a lawsuit against the Company, BBX Merger Sub, LLC, BCC , and the members of BCC’s board of directors, which seeks to establish a class of BCC’s shareholders and challenges the Merger. The plaintiff asserts that the Merger consideration undervalues BCC and is unfair to BCC’s public shareholders, that the sales process was unfair and that BCC’s directors breached their fiduciary duties of care, loyalty and candor owed to the public shareholders of BCC because, among other reasons, they failed to take steps to maximize the value of BCC to its public shareholders and instead diverted consideration to themselves. The lawsuit also alleges that BBX Capital, as the controlling shareholder of BCC, breached its fiduciary duties of care, loyalty and candor owed to the public shareholders of BCC by utilizing confidential, non-public information to formulate the Merger consideration and not acting in the best interests of BCC’s public shareholders. In addition, the lawsuit includes a cause of action against BCC, the Company , and Merger Sub for aiding and abetting the alleged breaches of fiduciary duties. The lawsuit requested that the court grant an injunction blocking the proposed Merger or, if the proposed Merger is completed, rescind the transaction or award damages as determined by the court. On September 15, 2016, Defendants filed a Motion to Dismiss the amended complaint. On November 21, 2016, the Court issued an order granting the Motion to Dismiss with prejudice. Plaintiff appealed the Court’s order dismissing the amended complaint to the Fourth District Court of Appeals, and on March 21, 2018, the Fourth District Court of Appeals issued an opinion affirming the dismissal of the action. The time period for plaintiff to appeal the Fourth District Court of Appeals ruling has lapsed.  The following is a description of certain ongoing litigation matters:  Bluegreen Litigation  On August 24, 2016, Whitney Paxton and Jeff Reeser filed a lawsuit against Bluegreen Vacations Unlimited, Inc. (“BVU”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Bluegreen, and certain of its employees, seeking to establish a class action of former and current employees of BVU and alleging violations of plaintiffs’ rights under the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938 (the “FLSA”) and breach of contract. The lawsuit also claims that the defendants terminated plaintiff Whitney Paxton as retaliation for her complaints about alleged violations of the FLSA. The lawsuit seeks damages in the amount of the unpaid compensation owed to the plaintiffs. During July 2017, a magistrate judge entered a report and recommendation that the plaintiffs’ motion to conditionally certify collective action and facilitate notice to potential class members be granted with respect to certain employees and denied as to others. During September 2017, the judge accepted the recommendation and granted preliminary approval of class certification. Based on that conditional class certification, all potential class members were provided Consent Forms to opt-in to the lawsuit, which opt-in period has since expired, and a set number of opt-ins has been determined (approximately 80) . Class-wide discovery was subsequently served and plaintiffs filed a Motion for Protective Order which is pending. Bluegreen intends to seek to compel 59 of the currently named opt-in plaintiffs to submit their respective claims to arbitration on an individual basis. Bluegreen believes that the lawsuit is without merit and intends to vigorously defend the action.  On September 22, 2017, Stephen Potje, Tamela Potje, Sharon Davis, Beafus Davis, Matthew Baldwin, Tammy Baldwin, Arnor Lee, Angela Lee, Gretchen Brown, Paul Brown, Jeremy Estrada, Emily Estrada, M ichael Oliver, Carrie Oliver, Russell Walters, Elaine Walters, and Mike Ericson, individually and on behalf of all other similarly situated , filed a purported class action lawsuit against Bluegreen which asserted claims for alleged violations of the Florida Deceptive and Unfair Trade Practices Act and the Florida False Advertising Law. In the complaint, the plaintiffs alleged the making of false representations in connection with Bluegreen’s sales of VOIs, including representations regarding the ability to use points for stays or other experiences with other vacation providers, the ability to cancel VOI purchases and receive a refund of the purchase price and the ability to roll over unused points and that annual maintenance fees would not increase. The complaint sought to establish a class of consumers who, since the beginning of the applicable statute of limitations, purchased VOIs from Bluegreen, had their annual maintenance fees relating to Bluegreen VOIs increased, or were unable to roll over their unused points to the next calendar year. The plaintiffs sought damages in the amount alleged to have been improperly obtained by Bluegreen, as well as any statutory enhanced damages, attorneys’ fees and costs, and equitable and injunctive relief. On November 20, 2017, Bluegreen moved to dismiss the complaint and, in response, the plaintiffs filed an amended complaint dropping the claims relating to the Florida Deceptive and Unfair Trade Practices Act and adding claims for fraud in the inducement and violation of the Florida Vacation Plan and Timesharing Act. On March 20, 2018, the plaintiffs withdrew their motion for class action certification and on March 23, 2018, the court ordered dismissal of the suit. On April 24, 2018, the plaintiffs filed a new lawsuit against BVU, for substantially the same claims, but only on behalf of the 18 named individuals and not as a class action. Bluegreen believes that the lawsuit is without merit and intends to vigorously defend the action.  On January 4, 2018, Gordon Siu, individually and on behalf of all others similarly situated, filed a lawsuit against BVU and others, Choice Hotels International, Inc. which asserted claims for alleged violations of California law that relates to the recording of telephone conversations with consumers. Plaintiff alleges that after staying at a Choice Hotels resort, defendants placed a telemarketing call to plaintiff to sell the Choice Hotels customer loyalty program and a vacation package at a Choice hotel via the Bluegreen Getaways vacation package program. Plaintiff alleges that he was not timely informed that the phone conversation was being recorded and is seeking certification of a class comprised of other persons recorded on calls without their consent within one year before the filing of the original complaint. After BVU moved to dismiss the complaint, plaintiff amended his complaint to dismiss one of the two causes of action in the original complaint on the basis that that particular statute only concerns land line phones. Plaintiff and Choice agreed to a confidential settlement and Choice has been dismissed from this lawsuit. Plaintiff seeks money damages and injunctive relief. Bluegreen believes the lawsuit is without merit and intends to vigorously defend the action.  On May 3, 2018, Katja Anderson and George Galloway, individually and on behalf of all other persons similarly situated, filed a lawsuit against Bluegreen which asserted violations of the Telephone Consumer Practices Act. The plaintiffs claim ed that they received multiple telemarketing calls in the spring of 2015 despite their requests not to be called. Plaintiffs s ought certification of a class of individuals in the United States who received more than one telephone call made by Bluegreen or on its behalf within a 12-month period; to a telephone number that was registered with the National Do Not Call Registry for at least 30 days. Plaintiffs sought money damages, attorneys’ fees and a court order requiring Bluegreen to cease all unsolicited telephone calling activities. Bluegreen moved to dismiss the lawsuit and, on August 13, 2018, this case was dismissed without prejudice.  On June 28, 2018, Melissa S. Landon, Edward P. Landon, Shane Auxier and Mu Hpare, individually and on behalf of all others similarly situated, filed a purported class action lawsuit against Bluegreen and BVU asserting claims for alleged violations of the Wisconsin Timeshare Act, Wisconsin law prohibiting illegal referral selling, and Wisconsin law prohibiting illegal attorney’s fee provisions. Plaintiffs allegations include that Bluegreen failed to disclose the identity of the seller of real property at the beginning of its initial contact with the purchaser; that Bluegreen misrepresented who the seller of the real property was; that Bluegreen misrepresented the buyer’s right to cancel; that Bluegreen included an illegal attorney’s fee provision in the sales document(s); that Bluegreen offered an illegal “today only” incentive to purchase; and that Bluegreen utilizes an illegal referral selling program to induce the sale of VOIs. Plaintiffs seek certification of a class consisting of all persons who, in Wisconsin, purchased from Bluegreen one or more VOIs within six years prior to the filing of this lawsuit. Plaintiffs seek statutory damages, attorneys’ fees and injunctive relief. Bluegreen believes the lawsuit is without merit and intend to vigorously defend the action.  Commencing in 2015, it came to Bluegreen’s attention that its collection efforts with respect to its VOI notes receivable were being impacted by a then emerging industry-wide trend involving the receipt of “cease and desist” letters from attorneys and timeshare exit companies purporting to represent certain VOI owners. Following receipt of these letters, Bluegreen is unable to contact the owners unless allowed by law. Bluegreen believes these attorneys and timeshare exit companies have encouraged such owners to become delinquent and ultimately default on their obligations and that such actions and Bluegreen’s inability to contact the owners are a primary contributor to the increase in its annual default rates. Bluegreen’s average annual default rates have increased from 6.9% in 2015 to 8.4% in 2018. Bluegreen also estimates that approximately 16.8 % of the total delinquencies on its VOI notes receivable as of September 30, 2018 related to VOI notes receivable subject to these letters. Bluegreen has in a number of cases pursued, and may in the future pursue, legal action against the VOI owners.  The following is a description of certain commitments , contingencies, and guarantees:  In lieu of paying maintenance fees for unsold VOI inventory, Bluegreen provides subsidies to certain HOAs to provide funds to operate and maintain vacation ownership properties in excess of assessments collected from owners of the VOIs. During the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, Bluegreen made payments related to such subsidies of $2.2 million and $1.7 million, respectively. As of September 30, 2018 , Bluegreen was providing subsidies to ten HOAs and had $6.2 million accrued for such subsidies, which is included in other liabilities in the Company’s condensed consolidated statement of financial condition. As of December 31, 2017, Bluegreen had no accrued liabilities for such subsidies.  In August 2016, BBX Capital entered into a severance arrangement with a former executive pursuant to which the executive is entitled to receive $ 3.7 million in cash payments over a three - year period ending in August 2019. As of September 30, 2018, the Company had a $0.9 million liability remaining under this arrangement , which is included in other liabilities in the Company’s condensed consolidated statement of financial condition.  In September 2017, Bluegreen entered into an agreement with a former executive in connection with his retirement . Pursuant to the terms of the agreement, Bluegreen agreed to make payments totaling approximately $2.9 million through March 2019. As of September 30, 2018, $1.2 million remain ed payable under this arrangement. Also, d uring the second half of 2017, Bluegreen commenced an initiative designed to streamline its operations in certain areas to facilitate future growth. Such initiative resulted in $5.8 million of severance accrued as of December 31, 2017 and $0.4 million accrued as of September 30, 2018 . Such outstanding amounts are included in other liabilities in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of financial condition .  In March 2018, Bluegreen’s compensation committee approved in principle the material terms of an Executive Leadership Incentive Plan (the “ELIP”), which provides for the grant of cash-settled performance units (“Performance Units”) and cash-settled stock appreciation rights (“SARs”) to participants in the ELIP. It is contemplated that each participant will be granted award opportunities representing a percentage of his or her base salary (the “Target LTI”). In the case of certain of Bluegreen’s executive officers, the award will be divided 30% to SARs and 70% to Performance Units. For other participants, including certain Bluegreen senior vice presidents, certain vice presidents and certain other employees, the award will be 100% in Performance Units. Performance Units will represent the right of the recipient to receive a cash payment based on the achievement of levels of EBITDA and return on invested capital (“ROIC”) during a two -year period. SARs granted under the ELIP, upon exercise after vesting, will entitle the holder to a cash payment in an amount equal to the excess of the market price of Bluegreen’s common stock on the date of exercise over the exercise price of the SAR. The SARs will vest in equal annual installments on the first, second and third anniversary of the date of grant and have a five -year term . In March 2018, Bluegreen’s compensation committee approved grants of 639,643 SARs at an exercise price of $19.72 per share to certain of Bluegreen’s officers, as well as Performance Units to receive up to approximately $7.4 million in 2020, depending on actual results from the two years ending December 31, 2019. As of September 30 , 2018, Bluegreen had $3.7 million accrued for the ELIP, which is included in other liabilities in the Company’s condensed consolidated statement of financial condition.  Bluegreen has an exclusive marketing agreement with Bass Pro, a nationally-recognized retailer of fishing, marine, hunting, camping and sports gear, that provides Bluegreen with the right to market and sell vacation packages at kiosks in each of Bass Pro’s retail locations and through certain other means. As of September 30, 2018, Bluegreen was selling vacation packages in 69 of Bass Pro’s stores. Bluegreen compensates Bass Pro based on VOI sales generated through the program. No compensation is paid to Bass Pro under the agreement on sales made at Bluegreen/Big Cedar Vacations’ resorts. During the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, VOI sales to prospects and leads generated by the agreement with Bass Pro accounted for approximately 14% and 15% , respectively, of Bluegreen’s VOI sales volume. On October 9, 2017, Bass Pro advised Bluegreen that it believed the amounts paid to it as VOI sales commissions should not have been adjusted for certain purchaser defaults. Bluegreen previously had informed Bass Pro that the aggregate amount of such adjustments for defaults charged back to Bass Pro between January 2008 and June 2017 totaled approximately $4.8 million. While Bluegreen believed and continues to believe that these adjustments were appropriate and consistent with both the terms and the intent of the agreements with Bass Pro, in October 2017, in order to demonstrate its good faith, Bluegreen paid the amount at issue to Bass Pro pending future resolution of the matter. Bluegreen has continued to make payments to Bass Pro as it believes appropriate and consistent with the agreements, which continue to be adjusted for defaults, and Bass Pro has accepted these payments as historically calculated. Subsequently and again more recently, Bass Pro has raised issues regarding adjustments for defaults and requested additional information regarding the calculation of commissions payable to Bass Pro and other amounts payable under the agreements, including reimbursements paid to Bluegreen, as well as regarding the operations at Bluegreen/Big Cedar Vacations. Bluegreen does not believe that the issues raised by Bass Pro have impacted current operations under the marketing agreement or relative to Bluegreen/Big Cedar Vacations. Bluegreen has formally responded to Bass Pro with its view on these matters and intends to provide Bass Pro with all appropriately requested information. Bluegreen’s agreements with Bass Pro provide that in the event of any dispute the CEOs of the companies will meet to work toward a resolution of the issues or disagreements between the parties. Accordingly, it is anticipated that such process will be followed in good faith and that the parties will appropriately resolve any issues. While Bluegreen does not believe that any material additional amounts are due to Bass Pro as a result of these matters, the Company’s future results may be impacted by any change in the calculations utilized in connection with payments or reimbursements required under the agreements or if Bluegreen is unable to resolve the issue .  The Company guarantees certain obligations of its wholly-owned subsidiaries and unconsolidated real estate joint ventures as follows:  · BBX Capital is a guarant or of 50% of the outstanding balance of a third party loan to the Sunrise and Bayview Partners, LLC real estate joint venture , which had an outstanding balance of $5.0 million as of September 30, 2018 . · BBX Capital is a guarantor o f a $1.5 million note payable of Anastasia , a wholly-owned subsidiary of BBX Sweet Holdings, owe d to the former owner of Anastasia. The note payable is collateralized by the common stock of Anastasia. In October 2018, the note was paid in full. · BBX Capital and BBX Sweet Holdings are guarantors of a $1.5 million note payable of Hoffman’s Chocolates, a wholly-owned subsidiary of BBX Sweet Holdings, owe d to Centennial Bank. T h e note payable is collateralized by propert y and equipment with a carrying amount of approximately $2.0 million . · In October 2017, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company issued a $3.4 million unsecured note to the seller of real estate to the Chapel Trail joint venture in which the subsidiary has a 46.75% equity interest. The unsecured note was part of the subsidiar y’s initial capital contribution to the Chapel Trail real estate joint venture. The note is not secured by the joint venture property , and BBX Capital guarantees the repayment of the unsecured note. · The Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Food for Thought Restaurant Group, LLC, enters into lease agreements for MOD Super-Fast Pizza (“MOD Pizza”) restaurant locations. As of September 30 , 2018, the Company is a guarantor on five of the lease agreements with estimated future minimum rental payments of $4.8 million. · BBX Capital and BBX Sweet Holdings are guarantors on the lease of a manufacturing facility in Utah. The Company exited the manufacturing facility during 2018 and recognized a lease liability of $1.0 million on the cease-use date.

Fair Value Measurement [Abstract]
Fair Value Measurement	 14. Fair Value Measurement  Fair value is defined as the price that would be received on the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The accounting literature defines an input fair value hierarchy that has three broad levels and gives the highest priority to quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3).  The input fair value hierarchy is summarized below:    Level 1: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities  Level 2: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities, or unadjusted quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, or inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability  Level 3: Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability  Financial Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments  The following tables present information for consolidated financial instruments at September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 (in thousands):     Fair Value Measurements Using  Quoted prices  Carrying in Active Significant  Amount Fair Value Markets Other Significant  As of As of for Identical Observable Unobservable  September 30, September 30, Assets Inputs Inputs  2018 2018 (Level 1) (Level 2) (Level 3)  Financial assets:  Cash and cash equivalents $ 369,512 369,512 369,512 - -  Restricted cash 55,710 55,710 55,710 - -  Loans receivable (1) 6,292 7,437 - - 7,437  Notes receivable, net 439,484 542,000 - - 542,000  Financial liabilities:  Receivable-backed notes payable $ 433,450 431,964 - - 431,964  Notes payable and other borrowings 197,177 201,460 - - 201,460  Junior subordinated debentures 136,231 142,000 - - 142,000  Redeemable 5% cumulative preferred stock 9,390 9,053 - - 9,053      Fair Value Measurements Using  Quoted prices  Carrying in Active Significant  Amount Fair Value Markets Other Significant  As of As of for Identical Observable Unobservable  December 31, December 31, Assets Inputs Inputs  2017 2017 (Level 1) (Level 2) (Level 3)  Financial assets:  Cash and cash equivalents $ 362,526 362,526 362,526 - -  Restricted cash 46,721 46,721 46,721 - -  Loans receivable (1) 19,454 21,125 - - 21,125  Notes receivable, net 426,858 525,000 - - 525,000  Notes receivable from preferred  shareholders (2) 5,000 5,000 - - 5,000  Financial liabilities:  Receivable-backed notes payable $ 421,118 425,900 - - 425,900  Notes payable and other borrowings 144,114 149,438 - - 149,438  Junior subordinated debentures 135,414 132,000 - - 132,000  Redeemable 5% cumulative preferred stock 13,974 13,977 - - 13,977   (1) Included in other assets in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of financial condition as of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017. (2) Included in other assets in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of financial condition as of December 31, 2017.  M anagement has made estimates of fair value that it believes to be reasonable. However, because there is no active market for many of these financial instruments, the fair value of these financial instruments has been derived using the income approach technique with Level 3 unobservable inputs. Estimates used in net present value financial models rely on assumptions and judgments regarding issues where the outcome is unknown, and actual results or values may differ significantly from these estimates. These fair value estimates do not consider the tax effect that would be associated with the disposition of the assets or liabilities at their fair value estimates. As such, the estimated value upon sale or disposition of the asset may not be received, and the estimated value upon disposition of the liability in advance of its scheduled maturity may not be paid.  The amounts reported in the consolidated statements of financial condition for cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash approximate fair value.  The fair value of the Company’s accruing loans is calculated using an income approach with Level 3 inputs by discounting forecasted cash flows using estimated market discount rates. The fair value of non-accruing collateral dependent loans is estimated using an income approach with Level 3 inputs utilizing the fair value of the collateral adjusted for operating and selling expenses and discounted over the estimated holding period based on the market risk inherent in the property.  The fair values of notes receivable and note receivable from preferred shareholders are estimated using Level 3 inputs and are based on estimated future cash flows considering contractual payments and estimates of prepayments and defaults, discounted at a market rate.  The fair value of the 5% Cumulative Preferred Stock, which is subject to mandatory redemption, is calculated using the income approach with Level 3 inputs by discounting the estimated cash flows at a market discount rate.  The amounts reported in the consolidated statements of financial condition relating to Bluegreen’s notes payable and other borrowings, as well as variable rate receivable-backed notes payable, approximate fair value for indebtedness that provides for variable interest rates. The fair value of Bluegreen’s fixed rate, receivable-backed notes payable was determined using Level 3 inputs by discounting the net cash outflows estimated to be used to repay the debt. These obligations are to be satisfied using the proceeds from the consumer loans that secure the obligations.  The fair value of Community Development Bonds is measured using the market approach with Level 3 inputs obtained based on estimated market prices of similar financial instruments. Community Development Bonds are included in notes payable and other borrowings in the above table.  The fair value of other borrowings (other than Bluegreen’s notes payable and other borrowings and Community Development Bonds above) is measured using the income approach with Level 3 inputs obtained by discounting the forecasted cash flows based on estimated market rates.  The fair value of junior subordinated debentures is estimated using Level 3 inputs based on the contractual cash flows discounted at a market rate or based on market price quotes from the over-the-counter bond market.

Under the agreement, the parties calculate their respective income tax liabilities and attributes as if each of them were a separate filer. If any tax attributes of one party to the agreement are used by another party to the agreement to offset such other party’s tax liability, the party providing the benefit will receive an amount for the tax benefits realized.

Segment Reporting [Abstract]
Segment Reporting	16 . Segment Reporting  Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise about which separate financial information is available that is regularly reviewed by the chief operating decision maker in assessing performance and deciding how to allocate resources. Reportable segments consist of one or more operating segments with similar economic characteristics, products and services, production processes, type of customer, distribution system or regulatory environment.  The information provided for segment reporting is obtained from internal reports utilized by management of the Company , and t he presentation and allocation of assets and results of operations may not reflect the actual economic costs of the segments as standalone businesses. If a different basis of allocation were utilized, the relative contributions of the segments might differ , but the relative trends in the segments’ operating results would, in management ’ s view, likely not be impacted.  In the table for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, amounts set forth in the column entitled “Corporate Expenses & Other” include interest expense associated with Woodbridge’s trust preferred securities, corporate overhead, the Company’s pizza restaurant operations as a franchisee of MOD Pizza, and a controlling financial interest in a restaurant acquired in connection with a loan receivable default. The Company opened two MOD Pizza restaurant locations during the fourth quarter of 2017 and three locations during the nine months ended September 30, 2018. As of September 30, 2018, management determined that the restaurant operations did not warrant separate presentation as a reportable segment.  The Company evaluates segment performance based on segment income before income taxes .  Set forth below is summary information regarding the Company ’ s reportable segments:  Bluegreen  Bluegreen markets, sells and manages real estate-based VOIs in resorts generally located in popular, high-volume, “drive-to” vacation destinations, which were developed or acquired by Bluegreen or are owned by others , in which case Bluegreen earns fees for providing these services.

Subsequent Events [Abstract]
Subsequent Events	17 . S ubsequent Events  2018 Term Securitization  I n October 2018, Bluegreen completed the 2018-A Term Securitization, a private offering and sale of approximately $117.7 million of investment-grade, VOI receivable-backed notes (the "Notes"), including approximately $49.8 million of Class A Notes, approximately $33.1 million of Class B Notes and approximately $34.8 million of Class C Notes with interest rates of 3.77% , 3.95% and 4.44% , respectively, which blends to an overall weighted average interest rate of approximately 4.02% . The gross advance rate for this transaction was 87.2% . The Notes mature in February 2034. KeyBanc Capital Markets Inc. (“KeyCM”) and Barclays Capital Inc. acted as joint bookrunners and co-lead managers and were the initial purchasers of the Notes. KeyCM also acted as structuring agent for the transaction. The amount of the VOI notes receivables sold or to be sold to BXG Receivables Note Trust 2018-A (the “Trust”) is approximately $135.0 million, approximately $109.0 million of which was sold to the Trust at closing and approximately $26.0 million of which is expected to be sold to the Trust prior to February 25, 2019. The gross proceeds of such sales to the Trust are anticipated to be approximately $117.7 million. A portion of the proceeds received at the closing w as used to: repay KeyBank National Association (“KeyBank”) and DZ Bank AG Deutsche Zentral-Genossenschaftsbank, Frankfurt am Main (“DZ Bank”) approximately $49.2 million, representing all amounts outstanding (including accrued interest) under Bluegreen’s existing purchase facility with KeyBank and DZ Bank (the "KeyBank/DZ Purchase Facility"); repay Liberty Bank approximately $20.4 million under Bluegreen’s existing Liberty Bank Facility; repay Pacific Western Bank approximately $7.1 million under Bluegreen’s existing Pacific Western Bank Facility; capitalize a reserve fund; and pay fees and expenses associated with the transaction. The remainder of the proceeds from the 2018-A Term Securitization are expected to be used by Bluegreen for general corporate purposes. As a result of the facility repayments described above, following the closing of the 2018-A Term Securitization, (i) there were no amounts outstanding under the KeyBank/DZ Purchase Facility, which allows for maximum outstanding receivable-backed borrowings of $80.0 million on a revolving basis through December 31, 2019, (ii) there was approximately $19.1 million outstanding under the Liberty Bank Facility, which permits maximum outstanding receivable-backed borrowings of $50.0 million on a revolving basis through March 12, 2020, and (iii) there was approximately $9.6 million outstanding under the Pacific Western Bank Facility, which permits maximum outstanding receivable-backed borrowings of $40.0 million on a revolving basis through September 20, 2021, in each case, subject to eligible collateral and the other terms and conditions of each facility , respectively . Thus, subject to the foregoing, approximately $76.7 million in the aggregate was available under the KeyBank/DZ Purchase Facility, Liberty Bank Facility and Pacific Western Facility as a result of the repayments. Further, s ubject to performance of the collateral, Bluegreen will receive any excess cash flows generated by the receivables transferred under the 2018-A Term Securitization ( meaning excess cash after payments of customary fees, interest, and principal under the 2018-A Term Securitization) on a pro-rata basis as borrowers make payments on their VOI loans. While ownership of the VOI receivables included in the 2018-A Term Securitization is transferred and sold for legal purposes, the transfer of these VOI notes receivables is accounted for as a secured borrowing for financial accounting purposes. Accordingly, no gain or loss was recognized as a result of the transaction.  Investment in Altman Companies  In October 2018, the Company entered into an agreement pursuant to which it has agreed, subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions to closing, to acquire a fifty percent ( 50% ) membership interest in The Altman Companies, LLC (“Altman Companies”), a real estate development company which operates a fully integrated multifamily platform covering all aspects of the development process and includes membership interests in Altman Development Company, Altman-Glenewinkel Construction, and Altman Management Company, for a purchase price of $11.8 million. Simultaneously with th is investment, the Company has agreed to acquire interests in the manag ing member of eight multifamily real estate developments affiliated with Altman Companies (the “Developments”) for a n aggregate purchase price of $10.9 million , subject to adjustment based on the terms of the agreement .  The Company has also agreed, subject to various terms and conditions, to acquire an additional forty percent ( 40% ) of the membership interests in Altman Companies for a purchase price of $9.4 million in approximately four years after the closing of the initial purchase. The seller, Joel Altman, can also, at his option, or in other predefined circumstances, require the Company to acquire the remaining ten percent ( 10% ) interest in Altman Companies for $2.4 million.  Closing of the investment in Altman Companies and the Developments is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain conditions, including obtaining consents from lenders and investors in the Developments.  The Addison on Millenia Investment, LLC  In October 2018, The Addison on Millenia Investment, LLC, a joint venture in which the Company holds a noncontrolling equity interest which had a carrying amount of $5.2 million as of September 30, 2018, sold its 292 unit multifamily apartment facility located in Orlando, Florida. In connection with the sale, the Company received $14.4 million of distributions from the joint venture.

Basis Of Financial Statement Presentation [Abstract]
Basis Of Accounting	BBX Capital Corporation and its subsidiaries (the “Company” or, unless otherwise indicated or the context otherwise requires, “we,” “us,” or “our”) is a Florida-based diversified holding company. BBX Capital Corporation as a standalone entity without its subsidiaries is referred to as “BBX Capital.” The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information. Accordingly, these financial statements do not include all of the information and disclosures required by GAAP for complete financial statements.
Consolidation Policy	The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of all of BBX Capital ’s wholly-owned subsidiaries, other entities in which BBX Capital or its subsidiaries hold controlling financial interests, and any VIEs in which BBX Capital or one of its consolidated subsidiaries is deemed the primary beneficiary of the VIE. All significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements	Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements  The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) has issued the following Accounting Standards Updates (“ASU”) and guidance relevant to the Company’s operations which were adopted as of January 1, 2018:  ASU No. 2014-09 – Revenue Recognition (Topic 606): In May 2014, the FASB issued a new standard related to revenue recognition (as subsequently clarified and amended by various ASUs). Under the new standard, revenue is recognized when an entity satisfies a performance obligation by transferring to a customer control over promised goods or services and is recognized in an amount that reflects the consideration which the entity expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. In addition, the standard requires disclosure of the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers.  The Company adopted the standard on January 1, 2018 under the full retrospective method , and accordingly, results for prior periods have been adjusted to apply the new standard as shown below.  The adoption of the standard affected Bluegreen in the following areas: (i) gross versus net presentation for payroll and insurance premium reimbursements related to resorts managed by Bluegreen and on behalf of third parties and (ii) the timing of the recognition of VOI revenue related to the removal of certain bright line tests regarding the determination of the adequacy of the buyer’s commitment under prior industry-specific guidance. Bluegreen concluded that the recognition of fee-based sales commissions, ancillary revenues, and rental revenues remained materially unchanged.  The adoption of the standard on the Company’s real estate activities results in recognizing revenue sooner for contingent consideration on sales of real estate inventory.  The adoption of the standard did not materially affect revenue recognition associated with the Company’s trade sales. Retail trade sales performance obligations are generally satisfied at the time of the sales transaction as customers of the retail business typically pay in cash at the time of transfer of the promised goods, while wholesale trade sales performance obligations are generally satisfied when the promised goods are shipped by the Company or received by the customer. However, the Company has historically recognized shipping and handling costs in selling, general and administration expenses, and upon the adoption of the standard, the Company began accounting for such costs as a fulfillment cost in cost of trade sales.  The Company has elected to use the following practical expedients in connection with the adoption of ASU 2014-09:  · We utilize the transaction price upon completion of the contract for certain contracts with customers; · We do not disclose the value of unsatisfied performance obligations for contracts with an original expected length of one year or less or unsatisfied performance obligations or unsatisfied promises to transfer a distinct good or service that forms a part of a single performance obligation recognized over time. See Note 2 for a further description of variable consideration identified in contracts with customers; · We expense all marketing and sales costs as incurred; · We exclude from the transaction price all taxes assessed by a governmental authority that are imposed on a specified transaction concurrent with the closing thereof and are collected by the Company from a customer; · We do not disclose remaining performance obligations for variable consideration when the variable consideration is allocated entirely to a wholly unsatisfied performance obligation; · We do not disclose remaining performance obligations when revenue is recognized based on the Company’s right to invoice; · We account for shipping and handling activities that occur after the control of the goods is transferred to a customer as fulfillment activities instead of a separate performance obligation; · We recognize incremental costs of obtaining a contract as an expense when incurred if the amortization period of the asset is one year or less; and · We do not adjust the transaction price for the effects of a significant financial component if we expect, at the contract inception, that the performance obligations will be satisfied within one year or less.  ASU No. 2017-05, Other Income – Gains and Losses from the Derecognition of Nonfinancial Assets (Subtopic 610-20). This standard provides guidance on the recognition of gains and losses from the transfer of nonfinancial assets to non-customers and requires that an entity must identify each distinct nonfinancial asset or in substance nonfinancial asset promised to a non-customer or counterparty and derecognize each asset when the counterparty obtains control of the asset.  This standard significantly changed the guidance on the transfer of real estate to unconsolidated joint ventures. Under prior guidance, the transfer of real estate to an unconsolidated joint venture was accounted for as a partial sale, resulting in the recognition of a partial gain, and the noncontrolling interest retained was measured at historical cost, resulting in a basis adjustment to the seller’s investment in the joint venture. In addition, the partial gain could be deferred if the sale did not satisfy certain criteria for gain recognition. As a result, the Company previously accounted for the transfer of land to certain unconsolidated real estate joint ventures for initial capital contributions as partial sales, resulting in deferred gains and joint venture basis adjustments. However, under the new standard, the full gain is recognized upon the transfer of control of real estate to an unconsolidated joint venture, and any noncontrolling interest retained is measured at fair value.  The Company adopted the standard on January 1, 2018 under the full retrospective method and, accordingly, prior years’ results have been adjusted to apply the new standard as shown below.  The following represents the impact of the a doption of ASU 2014-09 and ASU 2017-05 on our consolidated statements of financial condition as of December 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016 and consolidated statements of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30 , 2017 and the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016 (in thousands, except per share data):      For the Three Months Ended September 30, 2017  Prior to Adoption ASU 2014-09 Adjustments ASU 2017-05 Adjustments As Adjusted  Statement of Operations:  Sales of VOIs $ 61,687 766 -

Subsequent to the March 9, 2018 filing date, the Company revised its calculation of the expected impact of the full retrospective adoption of both standards, and the amounts included in the above tables reflect these revisions. The adoption of the new standards had no impact on our consolidated statements of cash flows.  ASU No. 2017-09, Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718). This update was issued to provide guidance on determining which changes to the terms and conditions of share-based compensation awards require an entity to apply modification accounting under Topic 718. Under this guidance, an entity must apply modification accounting to changes to terms or conditions of a share-based compensation award unless there is no change in the fair value, vesting or classification of the modified award as compared to the original award. The standard is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017 and for interim periods within those annual periods. The Company adopted this standard on January 1, 2018. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.  ASU No. 2017-01, Business Combinations - Clarifying the Definition of a Business. This update was issued to clarify the determination of whether an entity has acquired or sold a business. The definition of a business affects many areas of accounting, including acquisitions, disposals, goodwill and consolidations, and the standard is intended to assist entities in the determination of whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions or disposals of assets or businesses. The standard is expected to result in more acquisitions being accounted for as asset purchases instead of business combinations. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company adopted this standard on January 1, 2018 using the prospective transition method. The adoption of this standard resulted in the Company accounting for Bluegreen’s acquisition of the Éilan Hotel & Spa in April 2018 as an asset acquisition, and consequently, all transaction costs were capitalized as part of the assets acquired.  ASU No. 2016-01 –– Financial Instruments – Overall (Topic 825) – Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. This update requires all equity investments in unconsolidated entities (other than those accounted for using the equity method of accounting) to generally be measured at fair value through earnings and eliminates the available-for-sale classification for equity securities with readily determinable fair values and the cost method for equity investments without readily determinable fair values. However, the update allows entities to elect to record equity investments without readily determinable fair values at cost, less impairments. This update also simplifies the impairment assessment for equity investments and requires the use of an exit price when measuring the fair value of financial instruments for disclosure purposes. The amendments in this standard are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company adopted this standard on January 1, 2018 and recognized a cumulative effect adjustment of $0.3 million, net of tax, to accumulated earnings as of January 1, 2018 for equity securities with readily determinable fair values. The standard was adopted prospectively for $2.4 million of equity securities without readily determinable fair values. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.  ASU No. 2018-02 –– Income Statement – Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220) – Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income. This update provides an entity with an option to reclassify to accumulated earnings the stranded tax effects within accumulated other comprehensive income associated with the reduction in the corporate income tax rate from the enactment of the U.S. Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Tax Reform Act”). The Company elected to adopt this update as of January 1, 2018 and reclassified the stranded income tax effects from the Tax Reform Act into accumulated earnings as of the adoption date. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.  ASU No. 2018-05 –– Amendments to SEC Paragraphs Pursuant to SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118. This update formally amended Topic 740 for the guidance previously provided by SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118 (“SAB 118”) related to the application of Topic 740 in the reporting period in which the Tax Reform Act was signed into law. The Company adopted SAB 118 in the fourth quarter of 2017, and therefore, the Company’s subsequent adoption of ASU 2018-05 in the first quarter of 2018 had no impact on its accounting for income taxes in the first quarter of 2018. See Note 10 for additional information regarding the Company’s accounting for income taxes and the Tax Reform Act.
Future Adoption of Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements	Future Adoption of Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements  The FASB has issued the following accounting pronouncements and guidance relevant to the Company’s operations which have not been adopted as of September 30, 2018 :  ASU No. 2016-02 – Leases (Topic 842), as subsequently amended by ASU 2018-01 and ASU 2018-11 . This standard will require assets and liabilities to be recognized on the balance sheet of a lessee for the rights and obligations created by leases of assets with terms of more than 12 months. For income statement purposes, the standard retained a dual model which requires leases to be classified as either operating or finance based on criteria that are largely similar to those applied in current lease accounting, but without explicit bright lines. This standard also requires extensive quantitative and qualitative disclosures, including significant judgments made by management, to provide greater insight into the extent of revenue and expense recognized and expected to be recognized from existing leases.  This standard, which will be effective for the Company on January 1, 2019, permits two methods of adoption: a modified retrospective transition method or an optional transition method. The modified retrospective transition method applies the standard’s transition guidance as of the beginning of the earliest comparable period presented in an entity’s financial statements, which results in financial statements for the current periods that are comparable to the financial statements for the prior periods presented. The optional transition method applies the transition guidance on the date of adoption with a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings. Under this transition method, comparable prior periods in an entity’s financial statements in the year of adoption would continue to be reported in accordance with Topic 840, including the disclosures of Topic 840.  The Company expects that the implementation of this new standard will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures as the Company ha d aggregate future minimum lease payments of $147.5 million at September 30, 2018 under its current non-cancelable lease agreements with various expiration dates between 2018 and 2030. The Company anticipates the recognition of additional assets and corresponding liabilities related to these leases on its consolidated statement of financial condition.  The Company anticipates adopting the standard on January 1, 2019 under the optional transition method, and accordingly, will not apply the new guidance in comparable prior periods presented in its financial statements in the year of adoption. The Company anticipates electing certain practical expedients available under the transition guidance within the standard, including the package of practical expedients which would allow the Company to not have to reassess under the new standard prior conclusions about lease identification, classification, and initial direct costs. The Company also expects to make accounting policy elections by class of underlying asset to not apply the recognition requirements of this standard to leases with a term of twelve months or less and to not separate non-lease components from lease components. If the election is made to not separate non-lease components from lease components, each separate lease component and the non-lease components associated with that lease component will instead be accounted for as a single lease component for lease classification, recognition, and measurement purposes.  The Company is currently in the process of evaluating its existing lease portfolio, including accumulating all of the necessary information required to properly account for leases under this standard . Other significant implementation matters include assessing the impact on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting and documenting and implementing new processes for accounting for its lease agreements.  ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326), Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. This standard introduces an approach of estimating credit losses on certain types of financial instruments based on expected losses and will expand the disclosure requirements regarding an entity’s assumptions, models, and methods for estimating its allowance for credit losses. In addition, the standard will require entities to disclose the amortized cost balance for each class of financial asset by credit quality indicator, disaggregated by the year of origination (i.e., by vintage year). This standard will be effective for the Company on January 1, 2020. Early adoption is permitted beginning on January 1, 2019. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that adopting ASU 2016-13 may have on its consolidated financial statements.  ASU No. 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820), Disclosure Framework – Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement. This standard modifies the disclosure requirements in Topic 820 related to the valuation techniques and inputs used, uncertainty in measurement, and changes in measurements applied. This standard is effective for the Company in annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019 and for interim periods within those annual periods. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that ASU 2018-13 may have on its consolidated financial statement footnote disclosures.
