Contact info for the Board of Directors

I am in a community in Florida that the HOA is controlled by the developer. We have no direct way of contacting the Board of Directors other than through the property management company. There are many issues we have with the manager but everything we want to discuss has to go through him. Can we force them to give us direct contact information to the board of directors?

The Developer is an owner of property in the HOA and has his name and address in the tax records. Also, as a HOA member you are entitled to the name and address of all lot owners from management.

James,

I don't know why others desire to discuss how it works in their State when it doesn't really help you.

If your Association is incorporated, go to FL Division of Corporations and do a search for your Association. Once you find your corporation/hoa you will be able to see the following info:

Principal address (typically, the registered agents)
Mailing Address
Registered Agent name and address
Directors and Officers name and address

You will also be able to look up past reports to the State.

This will not give you their email or phone numbers.

However, you will have a mailing address of the Directors.

In my association we just put the HOA PO box as the mailing address for all directors. I think it is pretty common for managed associations to use the PM address.

In CA, the SOS Statement of Info shows the home address for our President, Secretary and Treasurer

Our HOA has the same name as an HOA in Florida (from time to time we get people from Florida joining our HOA by mistake)

I went to the Florida SOS website and did a search on our HOA name. The SOS list the names of six directors, but it appears it is pretty common, like others have mentioned, that they all use the management company's address. With that being said, it should be pretty easy to find additional info on the web using the full name provided from the SOS along with your zip code

Mark and Tim bring up good points. For now, you may need to wrestle with the developer regarding your issues until the community is turned over to the homeowners. In the meantime, do you know who's on the board? If so, check your documents to see what's available to the homeowners, such as an owner list. If you can get that, you may be able to identify their addresses. However, you'll have to ask the property manager for the owners' list, so that may not work right away or they'll turn you down completely (and there might not be anything you can do about that).

Once your community is turned over to the homeowners, suggest that the board establish one email address where people can send correspondence. This way, all the board members see the same letter and send one response, instead of board members contradicting each other. In the meantime, if you manage to get a homeowner's list and can identify the board members, send a letter to all of them, but please respect their privacy. That means not trying to get a phone number or email, and I wouldn't visit them either (these days, too many things can happen).

And this is how it works in California and that’s why I posted it.

This is grossly inaccurate.

Maybe it is. Maybe it isn't.

Hijacking TerriS6, thank you for conceding AidylP1's and my point.

And the one I looked up had individual addresses of the Directors.

I understand that you are fine with TerriS6 and yourself posting incorrect citations to California law. As a crowd-sourced forum, I hope you see the value of setting the record straight.
