Deliver it to the association's registered agent or management office — by hand-delivery, certified mail, or email if the association accepts electronic submissions. Keep a copy for your records with the delivery date noted.

The association's response is due within 10 working days (the statute's term) of receipt. If the association denies access, the denial should cite the specific statutory exception.

Frequently asked

Who uses this form?

Unit owners (or their authorized agents) who want to inspect or copy official records from their Florida condo association (§718.111(12)(c)) or HOA (§720.303(5)(a)). The form is the owner-side document — it goes TO the board. For the board's response template, see the records-request response template.

How long does the association have to respond?

The statute uses the term "10 working days" from receipt of the written request. After 10 working days, §718.111(12)(c)1.a creates a rebuttable presumption of willful non-compliance with $50/day statutory damages for up to 10 days ($500 maximum).

Can the association charge for copies?

Yes. Inspection of records is free. Copying fees are permitted at a reasonable per-page rate (typically $0.25/page for standard paper, actual cost for other media). The association may not charge for the time spent retrieving records.
