HOA & condo accounting in Broward County, FL.
From Fort Lauderdale’s waterfront condominiums to planned HOA communities in the western suburbs, Broward County associations need accounting built for community associations — not general small-business bookkeeping. Academy Accounting serves Broward boards and managers from our Lake Worth office, one county north.
Broward’s older condo buildings put reserves and inspections at the center of the books.
Fort Lauderdale alone lists more than 500 registered community associations in one public directory, and roughly six in ten are condominiums. Many of the county’s condo buildings date back decades, which is why Broward has run its own recertification program for older buildings since 2006 — and why Florida’s newer milestone inspection and structural reserve rules hit Broward boards hard. When an inspection turns up repairs, the board needs clean reserve records and a clear picture of what’s funded before it can decide how to pay for them.
Waterfront and older condominiums
Structural and life-safety reserve components tracked separately, to the standard required under Florida’s SIRS reserve funding rule, so the board can see exactly what’s funded.
Inspection-driven special assessments
When repairs require a special assessment, we set up the billing, track owner payments, and keep those funds reported separately from operating money.
Planned HOA communities
Monthly close, AP, owner ledgers, and board-ready reporting for single-family and townhome HOAs across the county.
Broward County FAQs
Do you have an office in Broward County?
No. Our office is in Lake Worth, in neighboring Palm Beach County, and we serve Broward associations from there. Monthly accounting, reconciliations, and board reporting don’t require a local storefront — and you still reach the same in-house team every time you call.
Does Broward’s building recertification program affect our association’s finances?
It can. Broward has run its own safety inspection program for older buildings since 2006, and Florida now also requires milestone inspections for condo buildings three stories or taller. Repairs that come out of either inspection usually land in the budget, the reserves, or a special assessment — all of which have to be tracked cleanly.
Do condo and HOA associations in Broward follow different accounting rules?
Yes. Condominiums fall under Chapter 718 of the Florida Statutes and HOAs under Chapter 720, with different financial reporting and reserve rules. Our Resources page lays out where the two chapters differ.
