Florida Community Association Managers

Frequently Asked Questions

 

How often do I need to renew my license?
All community association managers’ licenses expire September 30 of even-numbered years.

My license expired 2 or more years ago, and is now null and void. How do I become a licensed community association manager again?
You may petition for reinstatement of a null and void license if you failed to renew your license due to unusual hardship or illness. If the council denies reinstatement, you will be required to reapply for licensure as a new applicant, including pre-licensure education. You are not, however, required to take the state examination again.

I am not using my community association manager license. Can I place my license in an inactive status?
Yes, you may place your license in an inactive status. You may do this at renewal time for an inactive renewal fee of $100.00; or you may submit a request, at any time other than the renewal period, along with your original license and a change of status fee of $15.00.

How can I reactivate my inactive license?
For each year or any portion of the year your license is inactive, you must complete 10 classroom hours of continuing education. This total includes 2 hours for the legal update seminar for the year you are reactivating.

Will the continuing education hours I take to reactivate my license count toward the continuing education hours required to renew my license?
Yes. However, you will be responsible for ensuring that the continuing education requirements are met in each subject area for renewal.

I have just received my community association manager license. Will I be required to comply with the continuing education requirements for my first license renewal?
All licensees who are licensed as a CAM for more than 24 months at renewal time will be required to complete the full continuing education requirements. The term more than 24 months means being licensed 24 months plus one day. Licensees who are licensed for 24 months or less at renewal time are exempt from CE renewal requirements until the end of the next renewal cycle.

What are the continuing education requirements for renewal?
All community association manager licensees must satisfactorily complete a minimum of 20 hours of instruction, during each license renewal period, which shall include the required hours at an approved legal update seminar.

The 20 hours of continuing education shall be comprised of the following:

·         4 hours of legal update

·         4 hours of instruction on insurance and financial management topics

·         4 hours of instruction on the operation of the community association’s physical property

·         4 hours of instruction on human resources topic’s relating to community association management

·         4 hours of additional instruction in any area described above, or in any course or courses directly related to the management or administration of community associations.
