The Local Firm Boards Rely On
A management partner with the depth complex coastal communities require.
PMA Management Partners has managed Emerald Coast condominium and homeowner associations since 1995. We work exclusively in this market, and we know it the way only three decades of operating here can teach you. The vendors. The municipal relationships. The building histories. The regulatory landscape specific to Florida coastal properties.
Boards work directly with the leadership that founded the company. Communication is steady, financial reporting is transparent, and the team managing your community is the same team you met at your first meeting, year over year.
A tiered, credentialed team behind every account.
A licensed Community Association Manager assigned to your community, supported by an in-house team of accountants, a State-Certified General Contractor, and senior management oversight when decisions exceed the day-to-day.
Which Service Is Right for Your Community
Four service paths, calibrated to community type.
PMA serves condominium associations, homeowner associations, new development teams, and construction-heavy properties. Each requires a slightly different operating cadence.
Condominium Association Management
For coastal high-rises and complex coastal condos.
Capital project coordination, reserve planning, structural and statutory compliance, and the regulatory expertise specific to Florida high-rise condominiums. Over $50M in coastal condo renovations coordinated.
HOA Management
For established homeowner associations across the Emerald Coast.
Covenant enforcement, amenity management, vendor coordination, owner communication, and the operational consistency HOA boards rely on for long-term community stability.
Builder & Developer Services
For new developments and those transitioning to resident control.
Setting an association up correctly from day one protects both the developer and the future residents. PMA has guided new communities through the declarant period and resident-control transitions for three decades.
Construction Coordination
For communities facing capital projects of every size.
From a small repair through a $24M exterior renovation, PMA coordinates construction in-house through Progressive Support Services LLC, our State-Certified General Contractor. The team that manages your community manages the work.
Why Boards Choose PMA
The depth only thirty years on one coast can teach you.
PMA’s management agreements have no hidden fees. After-hours calls, weekend board meetings, additional owners’ meetings, and record storage are all included. The only additional charges are direct pass-through costs for printing, postage, conference calls, and similar incidentals.
Beyond the day-to-day, PMA brings 30 years of Emerald Coast vendor relationships to every account. Banking, insurance, staffing, contracting. PMA has established partnerships across every category a community needs, built over decades in this specific market. Boards aren’t starting from scratch with an unfamiliar vendor network.
Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions About Association Management on the Emerald Coast
These are the questions we hear most from boards evaluating a new management company.
What is the difference between HOA management and condominium association management?
Both are governed by Florida statutes — Chapter 720 for HOAs and Chapter 718 for condominiums. Condominium management typically involves more complex capital project coordination given the structural and shared-system demands of multi-story coastal buildings. HOA management focuses more on covenant enforcement, amenity oversight, and vendor coordination across separately owned homes and shared spaces. PMA manages both, with services calibrated to the requirements of each community type.
How much does association management cost on the Emerald Coast?
HOA management typically covers single-family residential communities governed under Florida’s Chapter 720, with a focus on covenant enforcement, architectural review, and common area maintenance. Condominium association management is governed under Chapter 718 and involves additional complexity around common element responsibility, master insurance coordination, structural maintenance, and reserve requirements. PMA manages both, with licensed managers experienced in the specific requirements of each community type.
Does PMA manage both condominiums and HOAs?
Yes. PMA manages condominium associations governed under Florida Chapter 718 and homeowners’ associations governed under Chapter 720. The firm also works with developers establishing new associations during the declarant period on the Emerald Coast.
What does a licensed Community Association Manager do?
A licensed Community Association Manager oversees the day-to-day operations of a community association on behalf of the board of directors. Responsibilities include vendor oversight, financial reporting coordination, board meeting preparation and minutes, owner communications, common area inspections, and enforcement of the community’s governing documents. PMA assigns a licensed manager to every account.
How does PMA handle large construction or renovation projects?
PMA coordinates capital projects through its affiliate, Progressive Support Services LLC, a State-Certified General Contractor. This in-house capability covers initial assessment, specification development, contractor selection, permit coordination, and project oversight through completion. PMA has coordinated more than $50M in Emerald Coast association projects, including the $24,000,000 exterior renovation at Shoreline Towers.
How do I find a qualified association management company in Destin or Northwest Florida?
Look for a firm with licensed Community Association Managers on every account, verifiable local project experience, and a management structure that gives boards direct access to decision-makers. PMA has managed communities on the Emerald Coast since 1995 and can provide references from current and past board presidents across Okaloosa and Walton counties.
