What HOA's and Condo Associations Need to Know
Until recently, only large condominium associations in Florida—those with 150 or more units—were required by law to maintain a community website. That changed on July 1, 2024, when House Bill 1021, signed into law by Governor Ron DeSantis, took effect. This legislation dramatically broadened the requirement, lowering the threshold so that any condominium association with 25 or more units must now operate a compliant website or mobile application.
The deadline for associations to meet these requirements is January 1, 2026.
This change means thousands of smaller associations must now prepare to create or upgrade their digital platforms to remain compliant. While the process may feel burdensome at first, maintaining a website will not only meet legal obligations but also streamline the way associations handle record requests and improve transparency with unit owners.
Under the new law, if official records are posted online, associations may direct unit owners to the website instead of arranging an in-person inspection. The Condominium Act now specifically provides that digital access via a website or mobile app is sufficient to fulfill the board’s legal responsibility.
If your association is unsure whether it falls under the new mandate, what records must be published, or how to manage digital record requests, it’s best to consult your association’s attorney for tailored guidance.
