Demand for EV charging in Florida condominiums is driven by residents, but the purchase decision is made by the association board. Shared chargers in a garage, surface lot or clubhouse are approved, contracted and paid for by the board, and owner-installed chargers are governed by rules the board adopts. This page explains how Florida law treats both routes, how many condo and HOA boards can be reached, and where the largest communities are located.
Two Ways a Charger Gets Into a Florida Condo
Shared chargers installed by the association
Under Fla. Stat. 718.113(9), the board of a condominium association may make available, install or operate an EV charging station on the common elements or association property, and may set charges for its use. The installation, repair or maintenance of such a station is not treated as a material alteration or substantial addition to the common elements, so a vote of the unit owners is not required. For an EV charging company, that means a shared-charger program can be approved by the board alone.
Chargers installed by individual owners
Under Fla. Stat. 718.113(8), a declaration or restrictive covenant may not be used to prohibit a unit owner from installing an EV charging station in a limited common element parking space. The owner pays for the installation, and the electricity must be separately metered or metered by an embedded meter. The association may require the owner to:
- comply with bona fide safety requirements, applicable building codes and recognized safety standards
- use a licensed and registered firm familiar with the installation
- provide a certificate of insurance naming the association as an additional insured
- reimburse the association for any increase in its insurance premium
Boards that receive a steady flow of owner requests are well served by an approved installer and a standard installation policy, which is a second opening for EV charging companies alongside shared-charger programs.
Florida HOAs Follow Their Own Documents
Chapter 720, which governs Florida homeowners associations, contains no provision comparable to the condominium EV rules. Whether an HOA board may install chargers at a clubhouse, amenity center or common parking area, and how owner requests are handled, is set by the community’s governing documents. Separately, Fla. Stat. 366.94 preempts local government ordinances on EV charging stations, with standards set by the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services. Every agreement should be reviewed by the association’s counsel, and this summary is not legal advice.
How Many Florida Boards Can Be Reached?
The figures below were taken from the HOA Contact Lists database on September 29, 2026. Only associations with at least one current, verified board member contact are counted.
| Condominium associations | Homeowners associations | |
|---|---|---|
| Associations | 22,631 | 26,430 |
| Board contacts | 91,145 | 108,734 |
| Associations with 50+ units | 8,961 | 15,042 |
| Associations with 100+ units | 4,985 | 10,081 |
| Board contacts at 100+ unit associations | 23,996 | 45,236 |
Condominiums are the stronger fit for shared charging, since residents of mid-rise and high-rise buildings rarely have a private garage outlet. A floor of 50 or 100 units is commonly applied, since a shared installation is easier to justify where many residents share one parking structure.
Where the Large Florida Condominiums Are
| County | Condo associations (100+ units) | Board contacts |
|---|---|---|
| Miami-Dade | 1,154 | 5,080 |
| Broward | 712 | 3,638 |
| Palm Beach | 648 | 3,489 |
| Pinellas | 276 | 1,349 |
| Orange | 257 | 1,093 |
| Lee | 239 | 1,197 |
| Collier | 226 | 1,145 |
| Hillsborough | 153 | 673 |
| Sarasota | 130 | 721 |
| Brevard | 119 | 554 |
| Duval | 100 | 424 |
| Volusia | 96 | 460 |
Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach counties hold half of the state’s larger condominium associations, so a South Florida installer can reach most of the market without leaving the region. Pinellas, Lee and Collier counties carry the largest concentrations on the Gulf coast.
Texas Associations
In Texas, 5,274 associations with 100 or more units have a current board contact in the database, with 15,671 board contacts between them. Whether a Texas board may install shared chargers, and what an owner must do to add one, is governed by the community’s dedicatory instruments, which should be reviewed with counsel for each target community.
How Lists Are Built for EV Charging Companies
- Association type. Searches can be limited to condominium associations, homeowners associations or both.
- Unit floor. A minimum community size is applied before contacts are counted.
- Service area. Results can be limited by county, city or ZIP code to match an installation territory.
- Board roles. Presidents and treasurers are usually prioritized, since shared-charger contracts and usage fees are approved by the board.
What a signed association contract could be worth, once connect and win rates are factored in, can be estimated with the free HOA Vendor Revenue Calculator.
Counts are free to run in the HOA Contact Lists search, and new accounts receive 5 free credits. Custom counts can be requested at support@hoacontactlists.com.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can a Florida condo board install EV chargers without an owner vote?
Yes. Under Fla. Stat. 718.113(9), the board may install and operate EV charging stations on the common elements, and the installation is not treated as a material alteration requiring owner approval.
Can a Florida condo association ban owners from installing EV chargers?
No. Under Fla. Stat. 718.113(8), a declaration or covenant may not prohibit a unit owner from installing a charger in a limited common element parking space, although the association may require safety compliance, a licensed installer and proof of insurance.
Do the same rules apply to Florida HOAs?
No. Chapter 720 has no comparable EV charging provision, so an HOA’s authority is set by its governing documents.
