Florida condominium associations—take note. A key compliance deadline is fast approaching, and it’s one that could impact your ability to meet new state reporting requirements.
By October 1, 2025, all condominium associations are required to create an online account with the Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation (DBPR), Division of Condominiums. This account will serve as the gateway for submitting essential information about your association, including:
- General association details (important to use association designated email addresses to protect board member’s personal information).
- Building and structural data
- Annual assessments and Special Assessments (if any)
- The Structural Integrity Reserve Study (SIRS)
These updates stem from recent legislative changes aimed at improving transparency and safety across Florida’s condominium communities.
What You’ll Need to Register
Setting up your DBPR account is straightforward, but you’ll need two key pieces of information to get started:
- Your Managing Entity Number- This can be found by looking up the Association’s name on the DBPR website in the Condominium Category
- Your DBPR Activation PIN – This unique code can be found on DBPR billing statements or official notices sent directly to your Association.
Once you have these, you’ll be able to create your account and link it to your specific condominium association.
Why This Matters
Failure to register by the deadline may result in delays or complications in fulfilling your statutory obligations. The DBPR portal will be the primary platform for submitting required documentation, including your SIRS and other mandated disclosures.
Helpful Tip
If you’re unsure where to locate your Activation PIN or need help navigating the registration process, reach out to your management company or legal advisor. Many associations are already receiving notices, so now is the time to act.
Final Thoughts
This new requirement is part of Florida’s broader effort to strengthen condominium oversight and ensure long-term structural safety. By registering early, your Association can stay ahead of the curve and avoid last-minute stress.
