Does My Florida HOA Have to Notify Me of a Meeting?

What Florida law says about meeting notice
Fla. Stat. 720.306 covers meetings of members, voting and election procedures, and amendments — and this is the section behind the notice you are owed before a members' meeting. If you are being told a meeting can happen with no notice at all, that does not sound right under this section.
What the statute does not spell out here
The material behind this guide does not give an exact number of days, a required delivery method, or wording for the notice itself. Those specifics often live in your community's own declaration and bylaws, not just the statute. Read your own governing documents alongside 720.306 before you conclude anything was missed.
- How many days of notice your community requires — check your bylaws.
- How notice must be delivered (mail, posting, email) — check your bylaws.
- Speaking time or floor procedure at the meeting — check your bylaws.
If you also want the financial numbers
Meetings, especially annual ones, usually come with financial reporting. Fla. Stat. 720.3086 sets the association's annual financial report requirement. Separately, Fla. Stat. 720.303 says official records must be made available within 10 business days of a written request, if you are within 45 miles of the community or in the county where it is located. Some records may carry a copying charge — that is usually set by your own declaration or bylaws, so check those too.
If this is not a homeowners' association
This guide is about Chapter 720, Florida homeowners' associations. If you live in a condominium, cooperative, timeshare, or mobile home park, Chapter 720 is not your statute — condominiums fall under Chapter 718. Do not rely on this guide for those communities; the rules are different.
If this is about a violation notice or a fine
This guide only covers records, notice, and meeting rights. If you received a violation notice or a fine, that is a different question — use the HOA violation responder instead. Any fine you plan to contest should go to a Florida community association attorney.
What to do next
This page explains what Chapter 720 requires in general. It cannot tell you what your own community's bylaws say, or whether your specific notice was late or improperly delivered. The free tool reads your own meeting notice or governing document and answers against the actual wording — with the statute section cited, so you can check it yourself. This is not legal advice; for anything contested, talk to a Florida community association attorney.
What Your HOA Owes You reads what you type and explains Florida Chapter 720 in plain language. It can be wrong, it is not legal advice, and it is not a substitute for reading your community's own declaration and bylaws. For anything contested, talk to a Florida community association attorney.
