Answer:
Hi Dan,
According to the Florida Homeowners’ Association Act Section 720.303(5), association members are entitled to inspect the HOA’s official records including member lists and vendor contracts. However, certain categories of items are not accessible to members including records protected by lawyer-client privilege and sensitive or private information, among other things. If the background checks of the HOA board and manager fall under these categories, the HOA is allowed to withhold this information from its members. For further guidance, kindly consult a lawyer.
