The law confers broad authority to condominium associations to manage the communities they serve, including the power to enter into contracts for products and services, supervise the maintenance of the property, and collect assessments to fund projects. As fiduciaries of the association and the unit owners they represent, board members must spend money wisely and adhere to all statutes and bylaws scrupulously. And in no aspect of their duties will their judgment be more subject to scrutiny and challenge than in contracting and bidding for services.

This course provides comprehensive explanations of the State of Florida’s statutory regulations of board members’ bidding and contracting practices. Learners are given the knowledge they need to fulfill their managerial duties in full compliance with the laws and bylaws to which they are subject. Additionally, the course empowers board members to make prudent decisions that improve the value of the property whose condition they supervise (Discounts are available for Condominium Boards or Property Management Companies by calling us at 1-800-521-9667).
