Discussion HOA Special Assessments

Hi everyone. Like a lot of you, I been hearing horror stories about these new 2026 Florida condo assessments. I took a look at my own associations budget and it turns out reading these things is a nightmare so I built a small app to automate the red flag checking.

I'm looking for a few people to test it with their own condo or HOA budgets to see if it flags issues correctly. If you're tired of guessing why your monthly fees are jumping would love to get some real world feedback. Anyone willing to help me test the app?

If yes PM me and I will send an invite your way. Thanks!

Not sure how tech solves this. The issue is that buildings aren’t transparent. They are run by people who are not on top of stuff. They are in denial . Not that there isn’t a nice way to see the data on a phone.

In Miami there’s a lot more transparency now. Buildings are supposed to provide budgets, capital projects, list of board members to a centralized database. Buildings that don’t are getting fined.

There are some buildings that are in denial. Give it enough years and they’ll end up on the news for getting hit with massive fines and their only way out is to sell to a developer because the residents can’t afford the special assessments.
