Florida Condominium Laws Before & After Surfside: A Guide For Owners Shortly after midnight on June 24, 2021, part of the Champlain Towers South condominium in Surfside, Florida collapsed without warning. This tragedy claimed 98 lives and stunned the nation. In its aftermath, Florida officials and lawmakers faced a harsh reality: condominium safety regulations had serious gaps. For decades, many condo buildings aged without thorough structural check-ups or adequate repair funds, a problem that Surfside brought into stark focus. In response, Florida has overhauled its condominium laws, and Miami-Dade County has strengthened local building safety ordinances. This guide will walk Florida condo owners through what changed – comparing the rules before Surfside to the new requirements after Surfside – and explain what these changes mean in practical terms. We’ll cover new inspection schedules, reserve funding mandates, board responsibilities, and key deadlines, all in clear language (no legalese!) so you can understand how to keep your building safe and compliant.
