Does an HOA in FL need a CAM or can you just use a property management company.
If you do need a CAM, what are the reasons? Number of homes? Budget?
Thanks a bunch! Frank

I thought Nevada was the only state with license/certification requirements. Does Florida have specialized licenses specific for Community Association Mananagement?

From the state web site:

13. What law requires a condominium association to hire a licensed property manager?
Chapters 718 and 719, Florida Statutes, do not require the association to hire a manager. However, the Florida Administrative Code, states that if a condominium board of directors chooses to employ a manager, it shall only employ a licensed community association manager where licensure is required by Section 468.431, Florida Statutes.
Condominium: Rule 61B-23.001(4), F.A.C.
Cooperative: Not addressed in Chapter 719, F.S.

14. Can an association self-manage or do they need to hire a manager?
Many associations choose to contract with an outside individual or managing entity, however the Condominium Act does not require any condominium association to do so. The association may be self-managed if it so chooses. If an association decides to hire a manager to assist the board of directors, the manager may be required to be licensed as a Community Association Manager (CAM) under Part VIII, Chapter 468, Florida Statutes.
Condominium: Sections 718.111(3), and 468.431, F.S.
Cooperative: Not addressed in Chapter 719, F.S.
