Board Member Continuing Education

Stay compliant with Florida's board member education requirements.

Florida Board Member Education Requirements

Under Florida law, newly elected or appointed board members of homeowners associations and condominium associations must either complete a state-certified education course or sign a written certification within 90 days of being elected or appointed.

Important Compliance Note

Failure to complete the education requirement or sign the certification within 90 days may result in the board member being automatically removed from the board.

What You Need to Know

Education Options

Board members can complete a certified education course offered by the state or an approved provider, OR sign a written certification acknowledging they have read the governing documents and will uphold their fiduciary duties.

90-Day Deadline

The education requirement or certification must be completed within 90 days of being elected or appointed to the board.

Topics Covered

Certified courses cover topics including financial reporting, budgeting, reserves, insurance, maintenance, governance, and Florida statutes governing community associations.

The association must maintain records of each board member's compliance with the education requirement. Freedom handles this tracking for all managed communities.
