Florida Community Association Manager Practice Exam

A pool serving how many condo or coop units is exempt from being classified as public lodging?

1. 16

2. 32

3. 48

4. 64

The correct answer is: 32

In Florida, the classification of a pool serving condominium or cooperative units as public lodging is determined by the number of units it serves. A pool that serves up to 32 units is considered to be private and thus is exempt from being classified as public lodging. This classification is important because it dictates the level of regulatory standards and safety protocols that must be followed. When a pool serves more than 32 units, it begins to fall under the definitions and regulations associated with public lodging establishments, increasing compliance requirements. This is significant for community association managers as they need to be aware of what constitutes a public pool and the additional legal responsibilities that come with such a classification. Understanding this threshold helps ensure that community pools maintain their status as private amenities while also being compliant with relevant health and safety regulations.
