It has come to our attention that many condo associations across Florida, including those in Palm Beach County, are approaching—or have missed—the critical December 31, 2024, deadline for compliance with Florida’s updated Milestone Inspection requirements.
As you are aware, these inspections are mandatory under Florida law for all condominium buildings three stories or higher, with deadlines tied to either 25 or 30 years after initial occupancy. Missing this deadline places your association at significant risk of:
- Fines and Penalties: Local authorities are already preparing to escalate noncompliant cases to code enforcement, which may result in costly fines for your association.
- Legal Liabilities: Under Florida law, one of the explicit fiduciary duties of HOA board members is to have a required milestone inspection done. Failure to comply with legally mandated milestone inspections exposes the HOA to fines and HOA board members to lawsuits and personal liability for breaching their fiduciary duty.
- Increased Repair Costs: As structural issues go unaddressed, repair costs often escalate exponentially, placing undue financial burden on residents through higher special assessments.
