<h2>Florida CAM Licensing Update: Key Changes for 2023</h2>
<a href="https://www.myfloridalicense.com/DBPR/community-association-managers/">As of January 1, 2023</a>, the Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation (DBPR) implemented significant changes to the Community Association Manager (CAM) licensing requirements.

These updates reflect a continued effort by the state to ensure professionalism and accountability within the community association management industry. Boards and managers alike should familiarize themselves with these new rules to maintain compliance and avoid potential penalties.

<a href="https://www.myfloridalicense.com/DBPR/community-association-managers/">The revised licensing requirements now mandate that all CAM license applicants complete a minimum of 45 hours of DBPR-approved education courses</a>.
This increase in required educational hours underscores the complexity of managing community associations and the need for comprehensive knowledge in areas such as Florida Statutes, financial management, contract law, and dispute resolution.

<a href="https://www.myfloridalicense.com/DBPR/community-association-managers/">Additionally, applicants must pass a state-administered examination covering key concepts related to CAM practice.</a>
The inclusion of an exam further emphasizes the importance of demonstrating competency and understanding of relevant laws and regulations governing community associations.

<a href="https://www.myfloridalicense.com/DBPR/community-association-managers/">Existing licensed CAMs are also subject to continuing education requirements, needing to complete 14 hours of DBPR-approved courses every two years to maintain their licenses.</a>
This ongoing educational mandate ensures that CAMs stay abreast of evolving industry practices and legal developments.

<h3>Why This Matters</h3>

The updated CAM licensing requirements are a positive step towards elevating the standards of professionalism within Florida's community association management sector. By requiring more comprehensive education and ongoing training, these changes aim to equip CAMs with the knowledge and skills necessary to effectively serve their communities. Boards should be aware of these new requirements when hiring or renewing contracts with CAMs, ensuring that their chosen professionals meet the state's current licensing standards.

Ultimately, these updates benefit both community associations and residents by promoting greater accountability, transparency, and competence in the management of shared spaces and common interests.
