Features

Is Vista Blue Connect available on mobile?

Yes. Vista Blue Connect works on any phone, tablet, or computer — nothing to download from an app store, nothing to update. Add it to your home screen and open it like any other app. Access documents, receive notifications, and manage your association from anywhere, at no additional cost.

What documents can I store in Vista Blue Connect?

Unlimited storage for all association records: meeting minutes, budgets, contracts, bylaws, insurance policies, reserve studies, inspection reports, and more. Upload a whole batch at once — every document is searchable the moment it lands, including scanned paper.

Can unit owners request documents through Vista Blue Connect?

Yes. Under Florida law, associations must provide requested documents within 10 business days. With Vista Blue Connect's full-text search, you can find any document instantly and respond to requests quickly.

How does Vista Blue Connect send notifications to owners?

Via email and SMS text messages. Send announcements to all unit owners with one click. Every notification is timestamped and logged for a complete audit trail, helping you meet Florida's notice requirements.

Does Vista Blue Connect track tenants and leases?

Yes. Upload lease documents, set expiration reminders, track tenant information, and maintain emergency contact directories. The system alerts you when leases are approaching expiration.

Does Vista Blue Connect create a public website for our association?

Yes, included at no additional cost. Display your rules, contact info, and public documents. Useful for realtors and prospective buyers. You control what's public versus private.

Florida Compliance

Does Vista Blue Connect help with HB 1021 compliance?

Yes, Vista Blue Connect includes tools to help you stay organized for Florida's HB 1021 and HB 913 requirements: deadline reminders, audit-ready document storage, reserve study tracking, and board member certification tracking. Note: We're not a law firm—consult an attorney for legal advice.

How does Vista Blue Connect help with document request deadlines?

Florida law requires associations to provide requested documents within 10 business days. Vista Blue Connect's full-text search lets you find any document instantly, and all records are organized by year and type for quick retrieval.

Privacy & Security

Can other boards see our documents?

No. Each association's documents are completely private, and only authorized users from your association can access your records. Within your own building you control who sees what — board members, owners, and tenants each see only what their role allows. The only documents anyone outside can see are the ones you deliberately publish to your public page.

Is Vista Blue Connect only for one community?

Yes, Vista Blue Connect is built for Florida COAs by Vista Blue Management, a property management company based in West Palm Beach. Our team includes board members and property managers who built it to solve problems they experienced firsthand.
