Condominiums (COA)

25+ Units

Florida Statute §718.111(12)

Effective: January 1, 2026

Common Compliance Gaps We See

Even associations trying to comply often miss critical requirements. Here are the most frequent gaps we identify.

No Structured Document System

Documents scattered across emails, shared drives, or board member computers with no organized records structure.

Documents Across Multiple Platforms

Required records stored in different locations — some on Google Drive, some in Dropbox, some in email.

Missing or Incomplete Records

Required documents not posted, outdated versions online, or critical records never added to the website.

No Secure Access or Role Permissions

Everyone gets the same access level — no way to limit sensitive documents to board members only.

No Ongoing Update Process

Documents posted once and never updated. No workflow for meeting minutes, budgets, or rule changes.

How Associations Typically Address Compliance

Associations generally take one of three approaches to meet statutory website requirements.

1

Self-Managed Internal Approach

Board or management handles everything internally — using existing tools like Google Sites, Dropbox, or generic website builders.

Works for small communities with dedicated management. Risk of non-compliance is higher without structured guidance.

2

Platform-Based Systems

Using third-party compliance platforms or document management systems designed for HOAs and condos.

More structure than DIY but may require board to manage setup and ongoing maintenance.

3

Fully Supported Compliance Solutions

Outsourced setup, ongoing posting, and compliance monitoring to a dedicated service provider.

Minimizes board burden and ensures structured compliance process. Requires investment beyond basic hosting.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions from board members about compliance websites

Do you ensure or guarantee compliance with Florida law?

No. Community Internet Advisory does not provide legal advice or compliance certification.

We provide a website platform and structure designed to support Florida statutory website requirements. Boards and management remain responsible for determining applicability and confirming compliance with qualified legal counsel.

Is this a legal service? Will you review our documents?

No. This is a website implementation and hosting service, not a legal service. We do not review, edit, or provide legal advice on document content. Boards and legal counsel remain responsible for document accuracy and interpretation.

Is this legal compliance certification?

No. This is a technical website structure to support statutory document publishing.

Do you manage website content?

No. Boards or CAMs provide and maintain documents. Optional support packages are available for upload assistance.

Can residents log in? Does this replace our management portal?

Yes, residents can log in.

The website includes a secure, password-protected resident and board portal with document access and communication features.

However, this website is not intended to replace full management platforms or accounting systems unless specifically configured to do so. Operational responsibilities and financial oversight remain with the association and its management professionals.

Can our management company use this instead of their portal?

This website is designed to support Florida statutory website requirements and support governance transparency. It does not replace management company accounting systems or operational workflows unless intentionally configured for that purpose.

Management companies may be granted upload or administrative access at the board's discretion.

Can our CAM participate in website planning discussions?

Yes. Community Association Managers may participate at the board's request, consistent with their normal support role. CAMs are not responsible for website configuration decisions, document management, or technical implementation outcomes.

Is my association legally required to have a website?

Florida statutes establish website requirements for certain associations. Boards should consult legal counsel to confirm applicability based on association type, size, and governing documents.

What documents must be posted on the website?

Common statutory categories include governing documents, meeting notices, minutes, budgets, and financial reports. Specific requirements vary by association type. Boards should confirm applicable posting requirements with legal counsel.

Who is responsible for uploading and updating documents?

Boards or their designees (such as CAMs) are responsible for document accuracy, completeness, and timing. We provide an admin portal for uploads. Optional support packages are available for upload assistance.

How long does setup take?

Most websites are live within 5-7 business days. Technical setup includes domain configuration and SSL certificates.

What happens if Florida's website requirements change?

Website structure updates reflecting statutory changes are included with hosting. Boards remain responsible for confirming new requirements with legal counsel and providing updated documents.

What happens if the board changes?

The website remains active. Admin access can be transferred to new board members or management.

Can we cancel?

Hosting is month-to-month with 30-day notice.

Who owns the website, and can the association manage it themselves?

By default, we build, host, secure, and manage the association's website on its behalf, providing a single accountable vendor for technical maintenance and platform management.

If at any point the association prefers to take full ownership and self-manage the website, ownership can be transferred upon request.

When ownership is transferred, the association becomes responsible for the underlying website platform subscription and hosting costs, which are paid directly to the platform provider. Our ongoing management fee would continue only if the board chooses to retain us for support or ongoing support, maintenance, or administrative assistance.

Most boards choose to remain on the managed model because it provides simplicity, continuity across board changes, and a single point of responsibility. However, the option to self-manage is always available.
