About BoardDeadline
BoardDeadline turns your building's milestone and SIRS deadlines into a clear framework your board can act on, built for the volunteer Florida condo and HOA officers who actually have to make the calls.
Last updated August 5, 2026
Why we built this
Florida changed the rules for older condo buildings after Surfside, and volunteer boards were left to figure out what applies to their building, by when. The requirements are public, but they are scattered across statutes, county programs, and professional jargon. We built BoardDeadline to turn that into a clear deadline framework a volunteer board officer can actually act on, without pretending to be the engineer or the lawyer.
The problem we solve
A board officer staring at a milestone or SIRS requirement usually faces two hard questions at once: when is our building actually due, and how do we pay for it without blindsiding owners. Guessing at the statute is not the same as knowing your building's date, and a special-assessment fight can split a community. We organize the deadlines and the paperwork so the board can make informed decisions and get the right licensed professionals hired on time.
How BoardDeadline works
BoardDeadline maintains free guides and tools, including the SIRS/Milestone Deadline Calculator, that turn your building's basics into a timeline framework to confirm with your county. The $199 Building-Specific Board Compliance Kit assembles your building-specific deadline framework, an engineer RFP, owner-communication letters, and a reserve-funding worksheet into one printable kit. We never render a compliant or not-compliant verdict; we give you deadlines and the questions to confirm.
Who we are
BoardDeadline is researched and maintained by the BoardDeadline Editorial Team, a group of writers and researchers focused on Florida condo and HOA board operations. We publish under this team byline rather than invented expert names, and we do not use fabricated professional credentials.
We want to be clear about what we are not. We are not engineers, architects, reserve specialists, community association managers, or a law firm, and nothing here is legal advice. We do not perform or replace any inspection or reserve study, and we do not replace your county or your association counsel; we make the requirements easier to organize and follow. When a decision needs licensed judgment, we say so and point you to the right professional or authority.

The principles we hold ourselves to
Cite the authority
When a deadline or requirement comes from a statute, a county building department, or a licensed professional, we point your board to that authority to confirm it, rather than asking you to take our word for it.
Never invent a building's deadline
We do not make up a building's milestone or SIRS date. We give you a framework built from your building's age, height, and coastal proximity, and the exact questions to confirm with your county.
Deadlines and questions, never verdicts
We never render a compliant or not-compliant verdict, and we make no promises about inspections passing or special assessments being avoided. We organize the requirements; licensed professionals and your county make the decisions.
Correct quickly
If a board member flags something wrong, we check it against the source and fix it. Accuracy matters more to us than being right the first time.
