DeSantis signs amended condo safety bills into law on anniversary of Surfside collapse - The Real Deal
Florida Governor DeSantis signed amended condo safety bills into law, requiring milestone inspections and reserve studies for condos 3+ stories, with stricter deadlines and penalties.
Aforeworn detected this change in the HOA & Condo Board Rules space on July 12, 2026 and published this briefing so affected operators are forewarned rather than caught off guard. It is rated High urgency. All Florida condominium associations (especially high-rise condos) and self-managed boards should confirm how it applies to their specific situation before acting. There is a time constraint attached: Reserve study: Dec 31, 2024; Milestone inspection: Dec 31, 2025 (for buildings 30+ years old, 25 years if within 3 miles of coast).. Acting after that point can mean penalties, a lapsed licence, or lost eligibility — exactly the kind of surprise Aforeworn exists to prevent. Aforeworn monitors HOA & Condo Board Rules continuously and turns every detected change into a plain-English briefing like this one, so you always know first. Forewarned is forearmed.
