Records turnover after a director recall
When members recall one or more directors, the board certifies the recall at a meeting, and a recalled director must turn over to the board, within 5 full business days, all records and property of the association in their possession. If the board declines to certify the recall, the statute sets out an alternative process.
What to keep on file
- Recall agreement or ballots
- Board minutes certifying the recall

No. HOACompliant is record-keeping: it tracks what is due, when, and the proof to keep, each obligation cited to the governing Florida statute. It never files anything on a board's behalf, never states that a board is or is not compliant, and is not legal advice.
