Condominium Changes

March 31st, 2023

Florida has passed Senate Bill 4D, which introduces new condominium laws aimed at improving building safety. The first measure is related to roof protection and creates an exception to building codes. The second measure is the addition of 'Milestone Structural Inspections'. Each building must be inspected before the 30th year of age and then every 10 years thereafter. For condos built before 1992, the first due date for inspection is December 31st, 2024. This is an important change for REALTORS to be aware of when working with clients looking to purchase or sell a condo unit, as it could help them make the right decision.
