HOA compliance in Florida: what boards should know.
Florida has detailed community-association statutes and has been moving toward stronger transparency. Recent legislation (e.g., HB 1203) points associations toward electronic voting and owner-portal/website access. Requirements differ by association type (condo vs. HOA) and change over time — verify what currently applies with your attorney.
Important: this Florida overview is directional and educational, not legal advice. Laws change and the details depend on your association type and governing documents. Verify current requirements with your association’s attorney before acting.
Where Florida law tends to focus.
A high-level sense of each obligation area as of this writing — general direction, not exact requirements.
Illustrative placement of Florida obligations — current as of this writing; confirm exact dates with your attorney.
Turn Florida’s requirements into a calendar you can trust.
BoardPath reads your governing documents, tracks your obligations and deadlines, and answers “what are we required to do here?” cited to your documents and applicable law — flagging clearly when a question needs your attorney. Steward watches the calendar so a volunteer board doesn’t have to. It’s organizing and information, not legal advice.
Because BoardPath knows Florida’s notice windows, it counts backward from your meeting or election date to the last safe day to send each notice — the last day to act, not just a date on the calendar. And it ranks Florida statute above your governing documents, so it flags where state law overrides what your CC&Rs say.
Where Florida law requires a notice to go by certified or first-class mail, BoardPath is rolling out one-click dispatch — printed, certified, and tracked, with proof of delivery saved to the record. Coming for founding boards
