HB 913: Florida Condo Law 3.0 Recap

By Laura Murray, CEO of Skybridge Tech Solutions


On June 23, 2025, Governor Ron DeSantis signed HB 913 into law—marking another step in addressing the rising financial and regulatory pressures on Florida condominium associations and their owners.


This legislation, known as Condo Law 3.0,, updates Florida Condominium Laws with 2025 changes to Florida Statute, Chapter 718. It builds on previous reforms by increasing oversight, improving access to information, and offering some (albeit minimal) financial relief mechanisms to help struggling associations comply with the state’s growing set of safety and reserve funding requirements.



A summary of the HB 913 provisions are illustrated in the infographic. As stated in the full press release from the Governor’s office: "The bill:

Addresses the affordability of mandated condo safety measures.

  • Provides immediate relief from the sudden cost burden of fee assessments by extending the reserve study requirement for one year and allowing for a 2 year pause in reserve fund contributions to prioritize funding critical repairs identified in a milestone inspection.

  • Increases the replacement cost of repairs required to be reserved and considered in the Structural Integrity Reserve Study (SIRS) from $10,000 to $25,000 to prioritize more critical repairs.

  • Provides alternate funding options that give associations flexibility as they work to meet reserve funding requirements, including an on-ramp for funding of items that still have useful life left.

Enhances accountability for condo associations.

  • Empowers boards and unit owners to terminate contracts if a manger fails to follow requirements of the state’s condo laws.

  • Prohibits association managers whose license is revoked by DBPR from holding any role in a management firm or being licensed for 10 years.

  • Enhances oversight, transparency, and empowers condo owners to be more involved in the decision making of their associations.

  • Requires full disclosure of potential conflicts of interest and mandates competitive bidding for contracts to make repairs on condominiums, protecting associations from self-dealing and ensuring fair value for owners.

  • Requires associations to provide more information and records online, making it easier for residents to access records and understand how their communities are managed, and money is spent. Additionally, it provides associations with the ability to deliver documents electronically, saving time and money.

  • Lays the groundwork for increased participation in community meetings by allowing for increased video conference usage and electronic voting.

  • Requires condo associations to report information about their property to DBPR and provide additional association details, for state regulatory oversight.

  • Mandates data sharing among local governments and state partners to better assess compliance with building safety requirements and understand the impact of reforms.

Promotes financial transparency.

  • Includes requirements for increased financial transparency and requires that unit owners have access to their associations’ financial records.

  • Allows associations more time to complete detailed financial reports.

  • Requires funding method and related details for SIRS to be disclosed to unit owners and potential buyers and extends the time from 3 to 7 days prospective buyers have to review financial information."
