Here is what you need to know about the directory as of October 2026 and how you can put it to work for your association.
How Many Firms and Cities Are Covered?
- The directory lists a total of 2,661 management firms.
- These firms span 205 cities nationwide.
- Of these, 1,161 listings in Florida specifically match 2,054 active community association management licenses from the state’s official records.
This matching is important because it means the directory verifies that firms are licensed and authorized to manage HOA, condo, or co-op communities in Florida.
What is the Verified Firm Badge?
When you see a firm with the Verified Firm badge in Florida, it means PropertyManagementSearch.com matched that company’s listing against the state license file and confirmed it holds a current, active license.
This badge gives your board more confidence that the firm meets regulatory requirements. However, licensing rules vary by state and can change. Always confirm licensing and legal requirements with your association attorney.
