Florida Law --- Unit owners have the right to tape record or videotape board meetings. However, a condominium board may pass certain restrictions pertaining to the manner in which it can be done. If adopted in advance by the condominium board as a written rule, the following restrictions can apply: 1), Anyone videotaping or tape recording a meeting cannot walk around during the meeting; 2), a unit owner must give notice if they intend to videotape or tape record a meeting; and 3), require that unit owners who are taping the meeting to set up the equipment before the meeting starts. Further, by Rule 61B-23.002(8)(a), Florida Administrative Code, condominium unit owners may only use audio and video equipment that does not produce distracting sound or lighting. Condominium: Section 718,113(2)(c), F.S., and Rule 61B-23.002(8), F.A.C. Cooperative: Section 719.106(1)(c), F.S. State of Florida
