Fla. Stat. Chapter 718
Governs the formation, management, powers, and operation of condominium associations in Florida. Sections cover creation of condominiums, association powers and duties, financial reporting, common-element responsibility, milestone inspections, structural integrity reserve studies (SIRS), member meeting rules, and developer-to-owner control transfer.
Official sourceFla. Stat. Chapter 719
Governs cooperative associations (co-ops) in Florida — residential housing where members own shares in a corporation that owns the real property, rather than units in fee simple. Parallel structure to Chapter 718 but with co-op-specific provisions around share transfers, proprietary leases, and member voting.

Common Elements is the platform for the community association industry, centered on the associations themselves: the record of each association, the people and professionals who live in, run, manage, and serve them, and the tools, data, and education they use to work together. It complements the management and accounting software you already use; it does not replace it.
