The Condominium Governance Form is a publication intended as an informal educational overview of condominium governance. 

The Access to Records Request is a form designed to facilitate the inspection process. Use of this form is recommended by the Division, but not required.

The Sample Candidate Certification Form (or a form similar to this one) may be submitted to the condominium association by a director within 90 days after being elected or appointed to the board.  Alternatively, a director may submit a certificate of satisfactory completion of the educational curriculum administered by a division-approved condominium education provider. Note that a board member certification form similar to this one or a certificate of satisfactory completion of a Division Approved Educational Curriculum is now REQUIRED by Section 718.112(2)(d)3, of Chapter 718, Florida Statues.

The division has also approved these educational curriculums.

On July 1, 2010, section 718.112 was amended to provide that newly elected board members take a division approved educational curriculum once elected to qualify for board service.  Specifically section 718.112(3)(b), Florida Statutes, states:

Within 90 days after being elected or appointed to the board, each newly elected or appointed director shall certify in writing to the secretary of the association that he or she has read the association’s declaration of condominium, articles of incorporation, bylaws, and current written policies; that he or she will work to uphold such documents and policies to the best of his or her ability; and that he or she will faithfully discharge his or her fiduciary responsibility to the association’s members.  In lieu of this written certification, the newly elected or appointed director may submit a certificate of satisfactory completion of the education curriculum administered by a division-approved condominium education provider.  A director who fails to timely file the written certification or educational certificate is suspended from service on the board until he or she complies with this sub-subparagraph.  The board may temporarily fill the vacancy during the period of suspension.  The secretary shall cause the association to retain a director’s written certification or educational certificate for inspection by the members for 5 years after a director’s election.  Failure to have such written certification or educational certificate on files does not affect the validity of any action.
