Florida law gives a new HOA director 90 days to file a certificate of department-approved education. Miss it and you are suspended from the board until you comply. Enter the date you were elected and how many parcels your association has — you get your deadline, your annual hours, and the record your association has to keep.
Free deadline check
The date you were elected or appointed, and roughly how many parcels the association has.
Why this exists
Florida changed the rules for HOA directors. A new director now has 90 days from election to file a certificate of department-approved education, or they are suspended from the board until they do. The association has to keep that certificate on file for five years, where any member can ask to see it. Most people find this out late.
How it works
The day you were elected or appointed, and roughly how many parcels the association has.
Your 90-day date, the arithmetic behind it, and your annual continuing-education hours.
From a DBPR-approved provider — not from us. We tell you what it has to cover and what to file when you are done.
Plans
The deadline check is free and always will be. The paid tiers are for the person who has to keep an entire board — or an entire portfolio — out of suspension.
Your deadline, your hours, the email to your secretary, and a printable compliance sheet.
Every director's deadline and annual hours in one place, for the secretary or manager who has to keep the board seated.
For the CAM firm carrying several associations, where one suspended director is a client problem.
No account for the free check. Payment is handled by Stripe; we never see a card.
Common questions
Per Fla. Stat. 720.3033, a director who doesn't file the certificate within 90 days of being elected or appointed is suspended from the board until they comply. This tool can tell you your deadline based on the date you give it, but it doesn't issue the certificate itself. If there's any dispute about your situation, check your association's records or talk to an attorney.
Fla. Stat. 720.3033 requires 4 hours a year if your association has fewer than 2,500 parcels, and 8 hours if it has 2,500 or more. The new-director certificate itself is valid for up to 4 years. Enter your parcel count into the tool and it will tell you which number applies to you.
The tool describes itself as free for entering your election date and parcel count to get your deadline. It also lists paid plans — $19 for one director, $199 a year for one association, $499 a month for management companies — but the material doesn't say what those cover or whether anything you type is stored. Since that isn't stated, don't assume any privacy guarantee — check with the tool directly before pasting sensitive information.
No. HOA Board Clock is not a department-approved education provider and cannot issue your certificate — only a provider approved by the Florida DBPR (Division of Florida Condominiums, Timeshares, and Mobile Homes) can do that. This tool only tracks your deadline and tells you the hours and records required. Check the DBPR division page for who is approved.
No. This tool covers Chapter 720, which governs homeowners' associations. Condominiums are Chapter 718 and follow different director-certification rules, so don't rely on this tool or this answer for a condominium, cooperative, timeshare, or mobile home park board.
Según la Fla. Stat. 720.3033, un director que no presente el certificado dentro de los 90 días después de ser elegido o nombrado queda suspendido de la junta hasta que cumpla. Esta herramienta puede indicarle su fecha límite según la fecha que usted proporcione, pero no emite el certificado. Si tiene alguna duda sobre su situación, consulte los registros de su asociación o a un abogado.
La Fla. Stat. 720.3033 exige 4 horas al año si su asociación tiene menos de 2,500 parcelas, y 8 horas si tiene 2,500 o más. El certificado de nuevo director es válido hasta por 4 años. Ingrese el número de parcelas en la herramienta y le indicará cuál cifra le corresponde.
La herramienta se describe como gratuita para ingresar su fecha de elección y el número de parcelas y obtener su fecha límite. También se mencionan planes de pago — $19 por un director, $199 al año por una asociación, $499 al mes para empresas administradoras — pero el material no indica qué incluyen esos planes ni si lo que usted escribe se guarda. Como esto no se especifica, no dé por hecho ninguna garantía de privacidad; verifique directamente en la herramienta antes de escribir información sensible.
No. HOA Board Clock no es un proveedor de educación aprobado por el departamento y no puede emitir su certificado — solo un proveedor aprobado por el DBPR de la Florida (División de Condominios, Timeshares y Casas Móviles) puede hacerlo. Esta herramienta solo le indica su fecha límite y las horas y registros requeridos. Consulte la página de la División del DBPR para saber quién está aprobado.
No. Esta herramienta cubre el Capítulo 720, que rige las asociaciones de propietarios de vivienda (HOA). Los condominios se rigen por el Capítulo 718 y siguen reglas distintas de certificación de directores, así que no confíe en esta herramienta ni en esta respuesta para un condominio, cooperativa, timeshare o parque de casas móviles.
