Quick Research Tips for Coral Springs

Records Request

Florida HOAs must produce financial records and meeting minutes within 5 business days of a written request. Use this right before you close on a purchase or anytime you have questions about how the community is run.

DBPR License Check

All Florida community association managers must hold a CAM license. Verify the management company at myfloridalicense.com before buying into any community.

Free Dispute Resolution

Florida offers mandatory non-binding arbitration through the Division of Florida Condominiums before either party can sue. It's faster and cheaper than court — and resolves most HOA disputes.
