Becker’s 2024 Legislative Guidebook

Welcome to Becker’s 2024 Legislative Guidebook, a comprehensive resource designed to provide clarity and guidance on the new Florida laws impacting condominiums, cooperatives, and homeowners’ associations (HOAs). As a state with a substantial number of community associations, Florida’s legislative changes can significantly influence the management and governance of these communities. This guidebook aims to equip board members, community managers, and legal professionals with the knowledge they need to navigate these changes effectively.
The 2024 legislative session has introduced several key changes that address various aspects of community association governance. These changes aim to enhance transparency, accountability, and the overall oversight of community associations.

This year’s legislative updates cover a broad spectrum of issues, including financial management, board governance, and resident rights. Our 2024 Legislative Guidebook is structured to provide a detailed overview of each new law, its implications, and practical steps for compliance. Sections include:

  • Summary of the Law: A concise explanation of the new statute or amendment.
  • Impact Analysis: Insights into how the change will affect community associations.
  • Compliance Guidelines: Step-by-step instructions on what associations need to do to comply with the new requirements.
  • Best Practices: Recommendations for implementing changes smoothly and effectively.

It is crucial for community associations to stay informed and proactive in adapting to legislative changes. This guidebook serves as a valuable tool to help you understand and implement the new laws. However, this Guidebook does not constitute nor is it a substitute for the legal advice you need to ensure that your association operates in compliance with these legal changes. Please contact your Becker attorney at your earliest convenience to implement these changes in your community.
