Membership in the Florida City and County Management Association is open to all who are employed as municipal or county administrators by local governments within the state. In accordance with policy, notice of each pending application is published one time in the Association's newsletter, The Manager. If no current member objects to the requested membership within thirty days of publication, an applicant for membership is reviewed for acceptance by the Association's board of directors to ensure that every prospective member meets the professional qualifications set forth in the Association's By-laws.

All individuals who are accepted for membership into FCCMA are bound by, and must agree to abide by, the Code of Ethics of the International City/County Management Association.  As of June 1, 2008 applicants are required to take the Ethics Course on-line.  It takes approximately 30 minutes to complete.   Link to the FCCMA Ethics Course using the link to the right.
