Manatee County has hundreds of registered condo and homeowner associations — from the established communities of Bradenton and Palmetto to the newer master-planned developments of Lakewood Ranch and the coastal communities of Anna Maria Island and Bradenton Beach. Every association with 25 or more units is now required by Florida law to have a compliant website. Most do not have one.
The associations most exposed to DBPR complaints in Manatee County are the older, self-managed communities established in the 1970s and 1980s — many of which have never had a website of any kind. These include established condo communities in central Bradenton, waterfront associations along the Manatee River, and older communities on the east side of the county. Many of these associations are managed by boards of retirees who are unaware of the 2026 compliance requirement or are waiting for their management company to handle it — not realizing the obligation belongs to the association, not the manager.
Manatee County associations can verify their registration status and find registered agent contact information through the Florida Division of Corporations at search.sunbiz.org. The Manatee County Property Appraiser at manateepao.com maintains property records that can help verify unit counts. The Manatee Chamber of Commerce at manateechamber.com lists local property management companies and service providers.

If your condominium association has 25 or more units, you are required by Florida Statute §718.111(12) to have a compliant website. This has been in effect since January 1, 2026. If your HOA has 100 or more parcels, the requirement has been in effect since January 1, 2025. Check your governing documents for unit count, or contact the Manatee County Property Appraiser to verify.

HOA and condo website compliance is enforced by the Florida DBPR — not the county building department. The DBPR investigates complaints filed by unit owners against their associations. However, Manatee County property records and the Florida Sunbiz database are useful for verifying association registration status and identifying board contacts.
