QUESTION
A board member of a condominium or cooperative association may not accept anything
of value providing goods or services to the association for his/her benefit or the benefit
of his/her family except:
A. for items received at trade fairs or educational programs
B. when fully disclosed to all of the other board members.
C. when received from a vendor who is also a relative.
D. when the item received has a value of less than $500.00
CORRECT ANS: A
Expert Rationale
Florida law strictly prohibits board members from accepting anything of value from
vendors or service providers if it could be perceived as influencing their decisions.
However, there is an exception for items of nominal value received at trade fairs or
educational programs. These are considered incidental and not intended to influence
decision-making. The other options are not valid exceptions, as even fully disclosed
items or those under $500 could still create a conflict of interest.

The Declaration of Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions (often simply called the

the basic rights and responsibilities of members, residents, and guests, and sets forth
the covenants and restrictions that govern the use of property within the community.
The Declaration is recorded in the public records and runs with the land, meaning it
binds all current and future owners. The Charter, Bylaws, and Articles of Incorporation
are also important documents but do not create the specific use restrictions found in
the Declaration.
