Starting January 1, 2025, milestone inspections are required for buildings that are: 25 years or older if located within three miles of the coastline. 30 years or older for buildings further inland. After the initial inspection, follow-ups will happen every 10 years.
New regulations require condo associations for buildings with three or more stories to file an inspection report focused on structure, maintenance and expected costs for repairs or renovations by Dec. 31. The report is just a small sector of the large-scale issue in Florida's condo and property insurance crisis.
The state law, passed in 2022, requires associations to have sufficient reserves to cover major repairs.
Under new state regulations, iniums must maintain financial reserves for major repairs and conduct structural inspections for buildings three stories or taller. Gov. Ron DeSantis signed the law in response to the partial collapse of Champlain Towers South, which killed 98 people in Surfside in June 2021.
Sunshine Laws for Committees For both condos and HOAs, there are certain committees that must always operate in the sunshine, which means they must post notice of meetings, permit all association members to attend meetings and keep minutes.
How do I find my HOA rules and regulations in Florida? Most of the time, you can find the bylaws, rules and regulations for your homeowner association on your county's clerk of courts website. The county your association is located in should have a record of your HOA's governing documents.
As a condo owner, you hold exclusive ownership rights to your individual unit, allowing you to occupy, modify, or sell it. These rights extend to the interior space of your unit, subject to the governing documents of the inium association.
Gain board approval – Present the proposed amendments to the HOA board. Discuss the changes, address any concerns or questions the board members may have, and open the floor to also allow homeowners to ask questions. Then, hold a formal vote to approve the new rule or amendment.
In Florida, the statute of limitations for breach of contract (such as violating your HOA covenants) is five years. The time period within which the HOA could enforce the covenant has expired, at least as it pertains to those patios that were built more than five years ago.
