Florida Condo Association Laws
1) Phase I Milestone Inspection
If a condominium building is three or more stories in height, a Phase I Milestone Inspection is required and must be performed by a Florida-licensed architect or engineer. The inspection must be completed by December 31 of the year the building is 30 years old from when the Certificate of Occupancy (“CO”) was issued. If a building’s certificate of occupancy was issued on or before July 1, 1992, the building’s 1st milestone inspection must be performed before December 31, 2024. The licensed architect or engineer must provide the report to the Association AND the local building official.

2) Structural Integrity Reserve Study (SIRS)
Associations existing on or before July 1, 2022, must have a Structural Integrity Reserve Study (SIRS) for each building three or more stories in height. A Florida-licensed architect or engineer must sign and seal the SIRS. Additionally, Senate Bill 154 adds that any budget adopted on or after December 31, 2024, must include the funding specified in the SIRS and that items with a remaining life of more than 25 years do not need to be funded. This study must be completed by December 31, 2024 Our team at BECI has the staff, experience, and ability to complete these service for your association to comply with the Florida condo association laws.
