Florida's New Website Requirements for HOAs and Condominiums Take Effect in 2026

North Palm Beach, Florida, November 25, 2025 - Florida's legislature has introduced significant updates affecting how community associations manage and share official records. Under the amended Florida Statutes Chapters 718 and 720, both condominium associations and homeowners' associations will face new requirements for maintaining official online platforms that provide secure access to documents for their members.

Beginning January 1, 2026, every condominium association with 25 or more units must maintain a compliant website or secure member portal. Large HOAs, defined as those with 100 or more parcels, have already been required to offer similar digital access since January 1, 2025. These platforms must provide password-protected owner access to governing documents, budgets, minutes, meeting notices, contracts, financial reports, reserve and inspection information, and other statutory records.

The legislative goal is to improve transparency, modernize communication, and reduce disputes related to record access. As communities begin adapting to the new requirements, many boards and community association managers are evaluating digital options that enable them to meet the standards for accuracy, privacy, and timely updates. This includes assessing whether their current systems qualify as a reliable HOA website or condo website, and whether they may need to transition toward more robust solutions.

"Florida's new requirements reflect a significant shift in how associations are expected to operate," said Lisa Ziemer, Founder & CEO of IBA Technology Consultants LLC (CONDUU). "For many condominiums and HOAs, these changes aren't just about putting documents online-they're about ensuring that owners have consistent, secure, and dependable access to information. Communities now need systems that support both transparency and privacy in a way that aligns with state law."

Ziemer notes that associations should begin preparing well before the 2026 deadline.

"The transition can be smooth if communities start early. Many associations are discovering that their current websites or software weren't designed with Florida's statutory requirements in mind. Choosing a reliable digital platform-whether you're looking for the best HOA website platform for your community or exploring a Florida condo website provider-can make compliance much easier."
