HOA Q&A: What are the new requirements for structural inspections of condo buildings? - Treasure Coast News
New structural inspection requirements for condo buildings in Florida mandate milestone inspections at 30 years (or 25 years if within 3 miles of coastline) and subsequent inspections every 10 years. Boards must complete phase 1 inspection by December 31, 2024, and phase 2 by December 31, 2025.
Aforeworn detected this change in the HOA & Condo Board Rules space on July 7, 2026 and published this briefing so affected operators are forewarned rather than caught off guard. It is rated High urgency. Condo associations, especially high-rise condos and master-planned HOAs with buildings 3+ stories should confirm how it applies to their specific situation before acting. There is a time constraint attached: Phase 1 inspection by December 31, 2024; phase 2 by December 31, 2025. 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.
