Community Association Managers & Community Association Management Firms

pp. 24–28; §468.432 and §468.4334 F.S.

 

Prohibits a person who has had his or her community association manager (CAM) license revoked from having an indirect or direct ownership interest in, or be an employee, partner, officer, director, or trustee of, a community association management firm (CAM firm) during the 10-year period after the effective date of the revocation.

 

Specifies such persons are ineligible to reapply for certification or registration for a period of 10 years after the effective date of the revocation.

 

Requires every CAM licensee to:

  • Create and maintain an online licensure account with the Department of Business and Professional Regulation (DBPR).

  • Identify on his or her online licensure account the CAM firm for which he or she provides management services and identify each community association for which he or she is the designated onsite CAM.

  • Update his or her online licensure account with the above information within 30 days after any change to the required information.

 

Requires every CAM firm to identify on its online licensure account each CAM under its employment. If a CAM has his or her license suspended or revoked, the bill requires the DBPR to give written notice of such suspension or revocation to the CAM firm and the community association for which the CAM performs management services.

 

Prohibits a CAM or CAM firm from knowingly performing any act directed by a community association if the act violates any state or federal law.

 

Requires each contract between a community association and CAM or CAM firm to include the following written statement: “The community association manager shall abide by all professional standards and record keeping requirements imposed pursuant to part VIII of chapter 468, Florida Statutes.”

 

Prohibits a contract between a CAM or CAM firm and a community association from waiving or limiting the professional practice standards for CAMs or CAM firms.

 

Specifies that a CAM or CAM firm must post on each association’s website for which it provides management services the name and contact information for each CAM or CAM firm representative assigned to the association, the manager’s or representative’s hours of availability, and a summary of the duties for which the manager or representative is responsible; however, this requirement only applies if the association is required to maintain official records on a website or application.

 

Effective date: July 1, 2025, unless otherwise provided in the bill.
