Florida HB 1021: What Your Condo Website Must Show in 2026
The website mandate expanded to associations of 25 units and up. The deadline has passed. The penalties are real. Here is the checklist.
For years, Florida's website requirement applied only to large condo associations. That changed. Under HB 1021, the threshold dropped to associations of 25 or more units, and the deadline to comply has already passed. Most condo communities in the state are now inside the rule, and many boards do not yet have a website that meets it.
This is not a marketing website. The statute requires a specific, access-controlled records portal. The distinction matters, because a handsome homepage with no records vault does not make an association compliant.
What the statute requires
The association must maintain a website, or an application, with a password-protected section accessible to unit owners. That protected area has to hold the association's official records: the declaration, bylaws, and articles; current budgets and financial reports; the most recent structural inspection and reserve study; insurance policies; executed contracts and any bid documents above the statutory threshold; notices and agendas; and board and member meeting minutes.
New records generally must be posted within thirty days. That last point is where most associations fail over time. A site that was compliant at launch drifts out of compliance the first month nobody posts the new minutes.
The penalties
The Division of Condominiums, Timeshares, and Mobile Homes can pursue penalties for noncompliance, and the exposure runs from five hundred to five thousand dollars per violation. Directors can face removal. Records requests carry their own statutory response clock. For a volunteer board, the risk is not theoretical, and it is not the kind of thing a busy manager should be tracking in a spreadsheet.
What good looks like
A compliant setup is a records vault that is organized the way the statute is organized, permissioned so owners see what they are entitled to see, and wired so that new documents land in the right place on time. It should make the thirty-day rule automatic rather than a monthly act of discipline.
We build exactly this. The same records vault, board portal, and compliance calendar we run for our own waterfront cooperative are what we install for other boards. If your association is over 25 units and you are not certain your website meets the rule, that uncertainty is itself the finding, and it is worth two weeks to resolve.
If any of this describes your firm, the next step is two weeks of study, not a sales call.
