Does my Florida HOA need a website?

The 100-parcel threshold, what qualifies, and when the deadline passed.

Summary

Yes — if your HOA has 100 or more parcels, you are required to maintain a website or application where members can access official records. This requirement took effect January 1, 2025, under § 720.303(4)(b) as amended by HB 1203 (2023).

Smaller HOAs (under 100 parcels) are not required to maintain a website, but must still provide records upon written request within 10 business days.

What the statute requires

§ 720.303(4)(b) specifies that associations with 100 or more parcels must:

Maintain a website or application

Accessible to all members of the association

Post specified documents

13 document types listed in § 720.303(4)(b) including bylaws, budgets, insurance, contracts, and meeting notices

Website or mobile app

Documents must be posted on a website or available through a downloadable application

Redact PII

All posted documents must have PII removed

Keep current

Website must be updated as records are added or changed

The statute says "website or application" — a compliance portal like Snap§720 satisfies this requirement. A basic WordPress site with PDFs uploaded also qualifies, provided PII is properly redacted.

What this means in practice

Determining if it applies

Your HOA must count its parcels (lots) to determine whether the 100-parcel threshold applies
Simply having a community website is not enough — official records must be posted and downloadable

Access requirements

The website must be accessible to all members — not just board members
The site does not need to be publicly accessible to non-members, but members must have login access

Ongoing obligations

All documents posted must have PII redacted before upload
New documents must be posted as they become available — this is not a one-time obligation
The board is responsible for ensuring the website remains operational and up to date

The January 1, 2025 deadline has passed. HOAs with 100+ parcels that do not have a compliant website are already in violation of § 720.303(4)(b).
