The Association Compliance Calendar: Recurring Deadlines and the Dates That Have Already Passed

Every recurring statutory deadline a Florida condominium, cooperative or HOA board has to hit, plus the one-time compliance dates from 2022 through 2026 that are now in the past.

This calendar is current through the 2026 regular session, and the statute text behind it is the 2026 Florida Statutes as of July 1, 2026. It collects the recurring dates a Florida condominium, cooperative or homeowners association board has to hit every year, together with the one-time compliance dates set by the 2022 through 2025 sessions. Several of those one-time dates are already in the past. They are listed first, because they are the ones that cause real trouble.

Dates that have already passed

Start here. These are fixed calendar dates set by statute or by the act that created the obligation. None of them roll forward, and an association that missed one is out of compliance today rather than facing a deadline.

DateObligationApplies toAuthority
December 31, 2024Initial milestone inspection for a building that reached 30 years of age before July 1, 2022Condominium and cooperative buildings three habitable stories or more§ 553.899(3)(a)

January 1, 2026Documents available on a website or downloadable mobile applicationCondominiums of 25 or more units, non-timeshare§ 718.111(12)(g); compliance date set by Ch. 2024-244

Two related dates close a door rather than open one. No structural integrity reserve study may be completed after December 31, 2026, under § 718.112(2)(g)7. and § 719.106(1)(k), so the window to cure a missed study is finite. And the reserve pause described below is available only for a budget adopted on or before December 31, 2028.

The annual cycle at a glance

For an association on a calendar fiscal year, the recurring obligations fall roughly as follows. Adjust every fiscal-year-driven item if your fiscal year is not the calendar year, because the statutes measure from fiscal year end and not from January.

WhenWhatApplies toAuthority

Budget and reserves

The budget meeting is the one date in the year where the notice rules differ most, and where a defect is hardest to cure after the fact because the assessments have already gone out.

Condominium (718)Cooperative (719)HOA (720)
Notice of the budget meetingAt least 14 days before, hand delivered, mailed or electronically transmitted, with a copy of the proposed budgetNot less than 14 days before, mailed, hand delivered or electronically transmitted, with copies of the proposed budgetNo separate statutory budget-meeting notice period; general board meeting notice applies and the documents may require more
General board meeting notice48 hours posted48 hours posted48 hours posted, or mailed or delivered at least 7 days before if not posted

Reserve threshold for a SIRS item$25,000, or the Division's inflation-adjusted amount if greater$25,000, or the Division's inflation-adjusted amount if greatern/a

Two reserve dates belong on the calendar even though neither recurs. First, the pause: for a budget adopted on or before December 31, 2028, a condominium association that has completed a milestone inspection may, on approval of a majority of the total voting interests, pause or reduce reserve contributions for no more than two consecutive annual budgets, under § 718.112(2)(f)2.e. Boards read the two-budget limit and miss the 2028 sunset behind it. Second, an association that has completed a milestone inspection may delay its structural integrity reserve study for no more than the two consecutive budget years following the inspection, under § 718.112(2)(g)9. Our page on reserve funding requirements covers how the vote has to be taken.

Financial reports

All three chapters use the same two-step structure and then diverge on the outside date. The 180-day extension that boards have heard about since 2025 is condominium-only. Applying it to an HOA or a cooperative makes the report two months late.

CondominiumCooperativeHOA
Prepare and completeWithin 90 days after fiscal year endWithin 90 days after fiscal year endWithin 90 days after fiscal year end
Deliver to members, or notice of availabilityWithin 21 days after completionWithin 21 days after completionWithin 21 days after completion

Authority§ 718.111(13)§ 719.104(4)§ 720.303(7)

The level of the report, whether cash receipts and expenditures, compiled, reviewed or audited, is set by the association's total annual revenues, and for HOAs by parcel count as well. Reviewing that threshold before the fiscal year ends is worth doing, because an association that crosses into audited statements and only discovers it in month four is not going to meet the delivery date. Our guide to reviewing financial reports explains what each level actually gives the board.

Director education and continuing education

There are two obligations here, not one, and the annual one is the one boards miss. The initial certification comes with a new director. Continuing education comes every year after that, for as long as the director serves.

CondominiumCooperativeHOA
Initial deadlineWithin 1 year before election or appointment, or 90 days afterWithin 90 days after election or appointmentWithin 90 days after election or appointment
What satisfies itBoth a written certification and a course of at least 4 hoursEither a written certification or the Division-approved curriculumThe Division-approved curriculum; no written certification alternative
Course content set by statuteMilestone inspections, SIRS, elections, recordkeeping, financial literacy, fines, notice and meetingsDivision-approved curriculumSubject matter prescribed; no hour count
Continuing educationAt least 1 hour annuallyNot specified4 hours annually under 2,500 parcels; 8 hours annually at 2,500 or more
Certificate lifeNot stated as expiringNot statedValid up to 4 years, so the curriculum repeats at least every 4 years
Authority§ 718.112(2)(d)5.b.§ 719.106(1)(d)1.b.§ 720.3033(1)

Put the certificates in the official records as they arrive and calendar the annual hours in the same month each year. A board that cannot produce a director's current certificate has a records problem and an eligibility problem at the same time, and both surface at the least convenient moment, which is usually an election challenge.

Records, the website and the Division

Two of these are past compliance dates, one is a standing 30-day clock, and one is a response window measured from each request.

CondominiumCooperativeHOA
Website or app requiredYes, 25 or more units, non-timeshare, by January 1, 2026No obligationYes, 100 or more parcels, by January 1, 2025
Posting deadline for each recordWithin 30 days after receipt or creationn/aNo general statutory deadline

Division online accountRequired on or before October 1, 2025Required on or before October 1, 2025Not required
Contact information updates to the DivisionWithin 30 days after a changeWithin 30 days after a changen/a
Records retention7 years, with certain permanent records7 years7 years

The 30-day condominium posting clock is the one that quietly generates violations, because it runs from receipt or creation of each record rather than from any annual date. A contract signed in March that is still not on the site in May is a violation regardless of how current the rest of the site is. Note too that posting a record which is statutorily exempt from inspection creates its own liability, so the posting list at § 718.111(12)(g)2. and the exemption list at § 718.111(12)(c)5. have to be read together. Our guide on records exempt from inspection sets out the exemptions.

Milestone inspections and structural integrity reserve studies

These two obligations are related but separately calendared, and only one of them is in Chapter 718 at all. The milestone inspection lives in § 553.899, inside the building construction chapter.

Trigger or deadlineWhat it requiresAuthority
Building reaches 30 years of ageMilestone inspection by December 31 of that year, for buildings three habitable stories or more§ 553.899(3)(a)
Local enforcement agency determinationThe agency may require the inspection by December 31 of the year the building reaches 25 years of age, based on local circumstances§ 553.899(3)(b)
Every 10 years after the initial inspectionRepeat milestone inspection§ 553.899(3)(a)
Within 45 days after receiving the inspection reportDistribute the inspector's summary to each owner§ 553.899(9)
Within 365 days after receiving a phase two reportRepairs must be commenced§ 553.899(11)
December 31, 2025 (condominium) / December 31, 2024 (cooperative)Structural integrity reserve study completed§ 718.112(2)(g)7.; § 719.106(1)(k)
December 31, 2026Outside date. No SIRS may be completed after this date§ 718.112(2)(g)7.; § 719.106(1)(k)
On receipt of the completed SIRSAn officer or director signs an affidavit acknowledging receipt§ 718.112(2)(g)10.
Within 45 days after receiving the SIRSDistribute a copy to each owner or give notice that it is available for inspection and copying§ 718.112(2)(g)11.
Within 45 days after receiving the SIRSProvide the Division a statement that the study was completed§ 718.112(2)(g)12.

Two 45-day clocks start the same day and run in parallel. Boards routinely complete the owner distribution and forget the Division statement, or the reverse. Calendar them as one task with two deliverables. Our page on milestone inspection requirements covers the phase one and phase two structure and what a phase two finding sets in motion.

Insurance and corporate housekeeping

These items fall off a board calendar because no owner complains until something else has gone wrong.

CycleWhatApplies toAuthority

Within 14 days of a written claim-status requestA public adjuster must respondAll, on an open claim§ 626.854, as amended by Ch. 2026-174

The corporate annual report deserves more attention than it gets. A corporation that has not filed may not prosecute or maintain an action in any Florida court until the report is filed and all fees and penalties are paid. Boards usually discover this on the morning they try to file a lien foreclosure or an injunction, which is the worst possible moment. Put it on the January calendar rather than the April one.

If your association is behind

This calendar exists partly so a board can find out that it is late. Six compliance dates above have already run, and in practice most associations that are behind are behind on more than one, because the same gap in process produced both.

  1. Establish the facts before you file anything. What was actually done, on what date, and which document proves it.
  2. Do not create or backdate a record to close the gap. A certification, minute or affidavit describing something that did not happen on the date stated is a far graver problem than the missed deadline, and under Chapters 718 and 720 records offenses carry criminal exposure.
  3. Call counsel before the association posts, certifies, reports to the Division, or responds to an owner about the gap. How an association cures, and what it says while curing, becomes part of the record an owner or the Division can use.
  4. Then calendar the cure with named responsibility and dates, in the minutes. A documented, deliberate catch-up is treated very differently from a board that went quiet.

Our companion page on what the recent sessions require of boards explains the substance behind each of these dates, and our note on when to call the association attorney covers the judgment call about timing.

Frequently Asked Questions About Association Compliance Deadlines

When is our annual financial report due?

Prepare and complete it within 90 days after fiscal year end, then deliver it or notice of its availability within 21 days after completion. The outside date is 180 days after fiscal year end for a condominium under § 718.111(13), and 120 days for a cooperative under § 719.104(4) and an HOA under § 720.303(7). The 180-day figure is condominium-only.

We never filed our corporate annual report. What happens?

The report is due between January 1 and May 1 each year under § 617.1622. A corporation that has not filed may not prosecute or maintain an action in any Florida court until the report is filed and all fees and penalties are paid, and it is subject to administrative dissolution. Filing late is usually straightforward, but a board should confirm the corporation's current status before relying on it in litigation.

Our SIRS deadline has passed. Can we still do one?

Until December 31, 2026. Both § 718.112(2)(g)7. and § 719.106(1)(k) provide that in no event may a structural integrity reserve study be completed after that date. After it passes, the statutory path to a completed study closes, which is why a board that is behind should get counsel involved now rather than in the fall of 2026.

Does an HOA have to post documents on a website?

Yes, if it has 100 or more parcels. Section 720.303(4)(b) required those documents to be posted by January 1, 2025. A condominium of 25 or more units has a similar obligation with a compliance date of January 1, 2026 and a 30-day posting clock for each record. Cooperatives have no posting obligation under Chapter 719.

When do we have to think about the Marketable Record Title Act?

At the first board meeting after the annual members meeting, excluding the organizational meeting. Section 720.303(2)(e) requires an HOA board to consider the desirability of filing notices to preserve the covenants or restrictions affecting the community. It is an agenda item every year, and the consideration should appear in the minutes even when the board decides no filing is needed yet.

How often does a director have to do continuing education?

Every year. A condominium director must complete at least one hour annually under § 718.112(2)(d)5.b. An HOA director must complete at least four hours annually in a community with fewer than 2,500 parcels and at least eight hours at 2,500 parcels or more, under § 720.3033(1), and the underlying certificate is valid for up to four years. Chapter 719 does not specify an annual hour count.
