HOA services in Florida

Florida is one of many places communities run HOAcrew. The platform is available to communities nationwide — this page covers what service work looks like here.

Florida has one of the highest concentrations of both HOAs and condominium associations in the country, with a large age-restricted segment. Statutory scrutiny of budgets, reserves, and structural inspection has increased sharply in recent years.

Florida HOA services — questions, answered

Which statute governs HOAs in Florida?+
Florida Homeowners’ Association Act, Fla. Stat. Ch. 720. Governs HOA governance, assessments, elections, records, and covenant enforcement. Condominiums are covered separately by Florida Condominium Act, Fla. Stat. Ch. 718. Your own declaration and bylaws sit on top of it and may be stricter.
Are there reserve or bidding rules Florida boards need to know?+
Fla. Stat. § 720.3055: Requires competitive bids for HOA contracts for products or services exceeding 10% of the association’s total annual budget. Fla. Stat. § 718.112(2)(f): Sets condominium reserve budgeting requirements, including reserves for deferred maintenance items.
Who licenses the contractors an association hires in Florida?+
Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation — construction contractor licensing, including swimming-pool and specialty classifications. Every vendor’s insurance and trade credentials are collected, verified, and stored with their expiry dates, and held to a stated renewal window — 30 days for insurance, none for a competency certification. Once that window closes, the vendor cannot bid for or be awarded new work until it is current again.
Who regulates community pools in Florida?+
Florida Department of Health — public swimming pool permitting, operation, and inspection, including operator certification. That is why pool scope on HOAcrew includes water-quality records and operator credentials, not just cleaning visits.
Is HOAcrew available here?+
Available to communities nationwide. Bring your own vendors anywhere; our vetted network is growing market by market.
Do you have vendors near me?+
Two ways it works. Invite the vendors you already use — they get credentialed and onboarded here, anywhere in the US. And where our vetted network has reached, additional vetted vendors can submit proposals too. Our network is growing market by market, so bringing your own vendor is always the fastest path.
