The legislature passed a new law during the 2025 legislative session requiring all Condominium and Cooperative Associations to create and maintain an online account with the Department of Business and Professional Regulation (“the DBPR”) on or before October 1, 2025. A whole host of information will be required by the DBPR and must be provided in electronic format. The information required includes board member and manager contact information, information about the buildings within the condominium or cooperative, information on the assessment rate and any special assessments, a link to the Association website and a copy of the Association’s structural integrity reserve study, if any. Any change in contact information must be updated within 30 days from any change.
Similarly, Community Association Managers and management firms must also create and maintain license accounts with the DBPR, identifying their management firm, and each community where they serve as a designated onsite manager. This account must also be updated within 30 days of any change. A management firm licensure account must identify all managers that are employed by the firm. If a manager’s CAM license is suspended, the DBPR will notify the management firm and all the communities managed by the manager at the time of suspension.
The DBPR recently announced that it had created an online portal for this new requirement. However, please note that many concerns have been raised regarding some of the information that the DBPR is requesting, in particular the email addresses of each Board member, as it is not required by the implementing statute. These issues have been shared with the DBPR. Therefore, you may wish to wait closer to October 1, 2025, to submit the form to the DBPR to see if it updates the form or issues additional guidance.
