Florida Community Association Website Requirements Effective in 2026

Many Florida condominium, homeowner (HOA), and townhome community associations already maintain websites or online portals. However, the scope, consistency, and accessibility of those platforms vary widely with some associations providing limited online availability to community records and documentation. As Florida’s statutory framework continues to emphasize transparency and electronic access, boards and managers should understand when a website or secure portal is required, what information must be made available, and the impact of these new 2026 legal updates.

Condominium Association Official Website Requirements (Effective January 1, 2026)

Prior to this new law going into effect, Florida condominium associations with 150 or more units required a website. Under updated statutory requirements (Florida Statute 718.111(12)(g)), that went into effect on January 1, 2026, condominium associations with 25 or more units must operate an official website or secure member portal that provides access to required records and documents. This includes key association records including:

• Governing documents
• Budgets
• Financial reports
• Meeting notices
• Meetings agendas
• At least 12 months of meeting minutes
• Active contracts
• Active vendor bids
• Structural integrity inspection Studies (SIRS)
• Reserve studies

This expands previous thresholds and underscores the importance of digital transparency, protections for sensitive information, and access for owners.

Homeowners Association Official Website Requirements (Effective January 1, 2026)

Under updated statutory requirements (Florida Statute 720.303(4)(b)), homeowner (HOA) associations with 100 or more parcels must operate an official website or secure member portal that provides access to required records and governance documents. This includes key association records including:

• Governing documents
• Budgets
• Contracts
• Insurance policies
• Meeting minutes
• Required notices

This expands previous thresholds and underscores the importance of digital transparency, protections for sensitive information, and access for owners.

Role of the Association’s Attorney in Community Website Legal Compliance 

As these website requirements continue to evolve, Florida board members and managers should work closely with the association’s legal counsel to ensure compliance with applicable statutory obligations. An attorney can help:

• Confirm that existing websites or portals are properly updated to reflect current legal requirements.
• Review website creation and maintenance agreements with third-party vendors to protect the association.
• Assess access controls to prevent the improper disclosure of sensitive information such as owner data, delinquencies, accommodation requests, or other protected records. 

Proactive legal review can help associations avoid compliance gaps, privacy issues, and unnecessary risk as digital transparency obligations expand.

Legal Resource

As Florida’s website requirements take effect in 2026, community associations should take a proactive approach to evaluating their current online platforms and compliance practices. Working with legal counsel can help ensure required records are properly made available while safeguarding sensitive owner information and minimizing legal and operational risk.
