Florida Community Association Manager (CAM)
Practice Exam
1. A candidate for a Florida Community Association Manager
(CAM) license must complete the pre-licensing education
requirements and submit a clean fingerprint background
check prior to sitting for the state examination. If an
applicant has a historical misdemeanor conviction on their
record from ten years ago, which of the following
statements accurately describes the authority of the
Department of Business and Professional Regulation
(DBPR) regarding the application?
A. The DBPR must automatically deny the application
because any criminal record permanently disqualifies an
applicant from holding a community association manager
license.
B. The DBPR will disregard the background check
completely if the offense occurred more than seven years
prior to the current application date.
C. The DBPR reviews each criminal history
background check on a case-by-case basis to
determine if the applicant's prior offenses directly
relate to the professional duties and
trustworthiness required of a licensed manager.
D. The applicant is entirely exempt from background
, screening if they can provide three letters of
recommendation from current community association
board members.
Rationale: The correct answer is C. The DBPR
evaluates an applicant's background check on a case-by-
case basis, evaluating the nature of the crime, the time
elapsed, and evidence of rehabilitation, rather than
issuing an automatic denial or an outright exemption
based on time or letters.
2. A community association manager is reviewing the
licensing renewal requirements established under Florida
Statutes and the rules of the Regulatory Council of
Community Association Managers. To successfully renew
an active CAM license biannually, the licensee must
complete a specified number of continuing education (CE)
hours. What is the exact mandatory distribution and total
number of CE hours required before the expiration date?
A. A total of 15 hours, consisting entirely of elective
courses chosen at the manager’s absolute discretion.
B. A total of 30 hours, with a mandatory 10 hours covering
federal tax codes and 20 hours covering regional zoning
laws.
C. A total of 15 hours, including specified
mandatory hours in legal updates, insurance and
financial management, operation of the
association's physical property, and human
resources or ethics.
D. A total of 20 hours, which must be completed entirely
through in-person university seminars with no online
options permitted.
Rationale: The correct answer is C. Florida
administrative rules require active CAM licensees to
complete 15 hours of approved continuing education
every two years, distributed across core mandatory
, categories including legal updates, insurance/finance,
physical property operations, and human
resources/ethics.
3. The board of directors of a high-rise condominium in
Miami wishes to hire an independent contractor to
perform specialized routine maintenance on the central
cooling towers. The community association manager notes
that the independent contractor does not hold a CAM
license but has a general mechanical certification. Under
Florida law, does this contractor require a CAM license to
perform these physical maintenance tasks?
A. Yes, because any person providing any physical or
operational service to a community association must hold
an active CAM license.
B. Yes, because working on a central cooling tower
involves controlling the association's primary common
elements and core financial resources.
C. No, because a CAM license is specifically
required for individuals performing practices that
involve the management and administrative
operations of the association, not localized
physical trade or maintenance labor.
D. No, provided that the contractor performs all physical
labor strictly between the hours of 11:00 PM and 5:00 AM
when residents are asleep.
Rationale: The correct answer is C. Physical
maintenance, construction, or trade labor does not
constitute community association management under
Florida law. A CAM license is triggered by administrative
actions like controlling funds, drafting budgets, or
coordinating meetings.
4. During a regular review of an association's operational
funds, a licensed community association manager decides
to temporarily move $50,000 from the statutory roofing
, reserve account into the general operating account to
cover an unexpected shortfall in the monthly utility
payment. The manager intends to return the funds as soon
as the next quarter's assessments are collected. Which of
the following statements is true regarding this action?
A. This action is fully permissible and represents standard,
proactive fiscal management as long as the money is
replaced within 60 calendar days.
B. This action is permissible only if the manager obtains
verbal, unrecorded permission from the president of the
board of directors.
C. This action constitutes a severe violation of
Florida law and administrative rules because
reserve funds cannot be used for operational
expenses unless approved in advance by a
majority vote of the voting interests of the
association.
D. This action is permissible because utility payments are
considered emergency physical preservation costs that
take absolute priority over statutory reserve restrictions.
Rationale: The correct answer is C. Under
Florida law (Chapters 718 and 719), using reserve funds
for purposes other than their intended structural
components requires a prior vote and approval by a
majority of the association's voting interests.
5. A homeowners association (HOA) board requests that its
community association manager draft the official notice
for an upcoming meeting of the board of directors where
the annual budget will be formally considered and
adopted. According to Florida Statute 720, what are the
specific minimum notice and posting requirements that
the manager must legally execute?
A. The notice must be posted conspicuously on the
property at least 24 hours prior to the meeting and sent via
