Course Overview
This course provides students with statutes and administrative rules applicable to community associations and community association managers. Some laws directly impact condominiums, cooperatives, homeowners’ associations, and timeshares. While others may apply to related entities, such as management, flood disclosures, and fire prevention. Included are laws passed and administrative codes adopted during the 2025 legislative session. We will review legislative changes from 2024 as they may impact those made in 2025. 
The course material includes a chart listing Florida laws to be covered in this course. The course text identifies changes with a line through words or phrases that were changed or deleted, and underlined to indicate information that was added by legislature.
