Required Professional Managment

We are a small self managed Florida home owners association. This afternoon one of our board members was told by a vendor that Florida law requires professional management for associations of 50 or more units. I have never heard of this before. Is this true? If so where in 720 is the reference?

Ruth - the next time someone quotes a law, ask them to provide it to you in writing.

Now . . . THINK. Why would any association HAVE to hire ANY vendor?

Thanks for the reference and the underlying fact. No, we were not going to hire this vendor. He was being asked for advice about the use of the type of product that he handles that one of our regular contractors uses. He really would not have any reason to have the facts straight in an area completely unrelated to his business area. I suppose I could turn this into a really bad joke because the vendor's business is fertilization products. You all have my permission to do what you want to with this info!
