Half of Florida’s community associations are run with professional help. In the HOA Contact Lists database, 50,062 Florida associations currently have board contacts on file, and a management company is recorded for 25,312 of them. The other half are self-managed, at least on paper.
The managed half is spread across 2,989 differently named companies. A few are statewide operations with hundreds of communities; the long tail is made up of local firms with a dozen or two. The 25 largest brands account for 6,817 communities between them, which is 27 percent of the managed associations and 14 percent of all Florida associations in the database. For a service business, that is a fragmented market, and it is one reason the ranking below is useful: the top of it is where a single relationship reaches the most boards.
The ranking
Companies were ranked by the number of Florida associations that name them as their management company. Brand variants were merged (FirstService Residential’s regional entities, Associa’s regional brands, Sentry’s branch offices, and so on). Units are the sum of the units recorded for those associations and will understate the true figure where a unit count is missing. “Condo share” is the proportion of the company’s communities that are condominium associations rather than HOAs.

Just outside the top 25: Newell Property Management (121 communities, Collier), Castle Group (120, but 55,627 units, concentrated in large South Florida high-rises), Lang Management (115, Palm Beach), KW Property Management (113, Miami-Dade), Rizzetta & Company (112) and Sandcastle Community Management (109).
Ranked by units instead
Community count rewards firms that manage many small associations. Ranked by the units in those associations, the order changes and the high-rise specialists move up.
| # | Company | Units |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | FirstService Residential | 255,221 |
| 2 | Leland Management | 138,219 |
| 3 | Associa | 107,982 |
| 4 | Sentry Management | 64,511 |
| 5 | Artemis Lifestyles | 61,574 |
| 6 | Castle Group | 55,627 |
| 7 | Miami Management | 53,197 |
| 8 | Campbell Property Management | 53,064 |
| 9 | Community Management Services | 48,893 |
| 10 | Greenacre Properties | 45,453 |
Leland’s position is the clearest example: 444 communities but 138,000 units, an average of more than 300 units per community, because its book is dominated by large Central Florida master-planned HOAs. Seacrest shows the opposite pattern: 362 communities and fewer than 18,000 units, almost all of them Palm Beach condo buildings.
What the footprints say
Two statewide players, then regional strength. Only FirstService (32 counties) and Associa (36) are found in most of Florida’s 67 counties. Nearly everyone else is a regional business with a home county that accounts for a large share of its communities: Seacrest, Campbell and GRS in Palm Beach; Miami Management, Phoenix and Benchmark in Broward; Leland, Empire and Community Management Services in Orange; Resource and Ameri-Tech in Pinellas; Resort Management and Newell in Collier; Alliant in Lee.
Condo specialists and HOA specialists are different businesses. Seacrest (99 percent condo), Phoenix (84 percent), Resort Management (80 percent) and Benchmark (73 percent) are built around buildings. Leland (13 percent), Artemis (12 percent), HomeRiver (12 percent) and Spectrum (19 percent) are built around planned communities. A vendor whose work is structural, such as concrete restoration or milestone inspections, is served by a different short list than a landscaper or a pool company.
The market is still local. The 25 largest brands manage 27 percent of Florida’s managed associations. Everything else is in the hands of nearly 3,000 smaller firms, and about 24,750 associations list no manager at all. County-level totals are on the Florida HOA statistics page.
How this list can be used
For contractors and service providers, a management company relationship is the fastest route to many boards at once, and the table above is a map of which relationships are worth the effort in each region. The board contacts for every community in the database, managed or not, are available by county, city and ZIP through HOA Contact Lists.
For boards comparing managers, the county column is a quick check on whether a company actually has a presence nearby, and the condo share is a check on whether it is used to buildings like theirs.
About the data
Figures come from the HOA Contact Lists Florida database as of October 2026 and are limited to associations with current board contacts on file. A company is credited with a community when it is named as the management company in the association’s state filings or in our association records. Those sources capture a portion of each company’s real portfolio, so the counts should be read as minimums and the ranking as a ranking of public-record footprints; companies’ own reported totals are higher. Related entities were merged under one brand where the relationship is clear from the name. Law firms, collections agencies and registered agents that appear in the management field were excluded. Units are summed from recorded unit counts and are incomplete where a count is missing. Sandcastle Community Management is a separate firm from Castle Group and was counted separately.
Corrections are welcome: a company that believes its count is wrong can write to support@hoacontactlists.com with its community list and the entry will be reviewed.
