In Florida, condo boards are led by a board of directors who is elected by the unit owners. The board of directors is responsible for the governance of the association and for ensuring that the association’s property is well-maintained.
Responsibilities of the board of directors include making decisions about the operation of the condo association such as developing the budget, hiring staff, and setting rules and regulations.
In some cases, the board of directors may hire a professional property management company to assist with the day-to-day operations of the association.
