Why Attend The Condo & HOA Update

 

Why It Matters

 

Florida’s HB 913 legislation, passed in response to the Surfside tragedy, reshapes the way condo associations and HOAs govern, disclose, finance, and maintain their buildings. Compliance is no longer optional,  it’s enforceable, complex, and high stakes. From reserve studies to board leadership and resident communication, association leaders must master new requirements while keeping communities safe, informed, and financially sound. This event unpacks the legislation from every angle, helping boards, CAMs, legal experts, engineers, and residents understand what’s required and how to move forward with confidence.

 

What You Will Learn

 

  • The full scope of HB 913 requirements — from structural reserves to governance, disclosures, and financial compliance.
     
  • Best practices for leading through conflict, managing transparency, and restoring trust in communities under pressure.
     
  • Legal, financial, and operational strategies to comply with new non-structural rules (contracts, disclosures, penalties, voting, etc.).
     
  • How to plan, finance, and execute Structural Integrity Reserve Studies (SIRS) while balancing costs, timelines, and resident concerns.
     
  • Real-world strategies from legal, engineering, and boardroom perspectives to keep your association compliant  and your community resilient.

Navigating the New Era of Condo Governance

Beyond Bricks & Mortar: The Non-Structural Rules of HB 913
When most people think of HB 913, they think of concrete repairs and structural inspections. But the bill also introduces sweeping non-structural requirements that associations must understand to remain compliant. This panel will break down the overlooked but critical rules around disclosures, contracts, owner voting rights, penalties for non-compliance, and financial accountability. Panelists will help demystify these “hidden” obligations and explain what boards need to do now to avoid fines, lawsuits, and reputational fallout.

Structural Integrity Reserve Studies (SIRS) & Compliance
The most talked-about part of HB 913 is the mandate for Structural Integrity Reserve Studies (SIRS). This panel dives deep into what associations must do to comply, from hiring the right engineers and contractors to creating realistic timelines and financial strategies. Panelists will discuss challenges in funding reserves, addressing unexpected repair discoveries, and prioritizing projects without pushing residents beyond financial limits. You’ll hear best practices for collaboration among engineers, CAMs, boards, and legal advisors to ensure your building is structurally sound, financially compliant, and positioned for long-term resilience.
