The Florida Homeowners' Association Act, Chapter 720 of the Florida Statutes, states that amendments to “governing documents” for homeowners' associations are not effective until they are recorded in the public records of the county in which the community is located.
The records of the association shall be made available to a unit owner within 45 miles of the inium property or within the county in which the inium property is located.
Starting January 1, 2025, milestone inspections are required for buildings that are: 25 years or older if located within three miles of the coastline. 30 years or older for buildings further inland. After the initial inspection, follow-ups will happen every 10 years.
Florida Recorded Document Search - Visit the county recorder's office where the property is located to find an association's Declaration of Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions (CC&Rs), Amendments to CC&Rs, Bylaws, Lien Notices, HOA Notices, Plats, Maps, and other community documents.

Copies of the Articles of Incorporation and bylaws of the homeowners association can be obtained from the Florida Department of State, Division of Corporations. Copies of the governing documents may also be obtained directly from the homeowners association.
The inium bylaws govern the structure and operation of the association. They contain information regarding board meetings, elections, board terms, voting procedures, and the like. The bylaws are more about the management of the association than the rules that govern it and its members.
The Declarations define the use and occupancy rules of the units and common areas. Condo bylaws outline the remedies for breach of these rules.
Generally speaking, the declaration is the document that creates the inium. The bylaws spell out the day-to-day operations of the association. If your association is more than 10 years old and the bylaws have remained unchanged, board members may want to consider making updates.
Any Florida HOA or inium association with 100 or more units must maintain a website or mobile app by January 1, 2025, where homeowners can access essential documents, such as governing rules, meeting minutes, budgets, and insurance policies.
