Florida condo milestone inspection list

Every condominium and cooperative building we can find in the public record for Palm Beach, Collier, Pinellas (St. Petersburg) and Lee counties that falls under Florida's milestone inspection law, sorted by what matters to the people who do the work: 83 buildings with repairs required, 126 delinquent, 175 in progress, and 797 past the 30-year line with no completion record published. Each building carries its association, address, year built where the source gives it, status, next due year and the managing entity DBPR has on file. Updated 2026-09-11.

What the law requires, in plain language

Florida Statutes section 553.899 requires a milestone inspection for any condominium or cooperative building that is three habitable stories or more. The first inspection is due by December 31 of the year the building turns 30, counted from its certificate of occupancy, and then every 10 years. The local building department may set the first deadline at 25 years where local conditions, such as proximity to salt water, justify it; that is a local decision, not an automatic coastal rule. Buildings that were already 30 or older when the law took effect had catch-up deadlines in 2024 and 2025.

The inspection has two phases. Phase one is a visual examination by a Florida-licensed engineer or architect, due within 180 days of the written notice the local agency sends the association by certified mail. Phase two is required only if phase one finds substantial structural deterioration, and after a phase-two report the association must begin repairs within 365 days. Local agencies report their milestone data to the Department of Business and Professional Regulation each year, and DBPR publishes a plain-language summary and its condominium public records, but not a statewide building list. A related requirement, the structural integrity reserve study under section 718.112(2)(g), applies to the same buildings on a 10-year cycle.

This is a description of the public record, not legal advice. Deadlines depend on the certificate-of-occupancy date and on local ordinances; confirm with the building department that has jurisdiction.

Buildings by county and status

Counts from the four public sources as of 2026-09-11. "Past threshold, no record" means the building is past its 30-year line but the jurisdiction publishes no completion data, which is the case for all of Lee County. Palm Beach, Collier and St. Petersburg publish completion status, so their buildings land in the other columns.

Status buckets: Repairs required = the roster flags repairs or a dangerous or unsafe condition after phase two; Delinquent = the roster marks the phase-one or full inspection delinquent; In progress = a report is submitted or under review; Due this year, Due within 2 years and Due later come from the roster's next due year, or from year built plus 30 where there is no roster; Cycle completed = the current 10-year cycle is closed. A building can be flagged repairs required and cycle complete at the same time; it is counted once, under repairs required.

Where the data comes from

• Palm Beach County: Planning, Zoning and Building milestone inspection layer, PZB_MILESTONE_INSPECTION_NEW (674 buildings, with year built, phase one and phase two status, repairs-required flag and 10-year recertification year).
• Collier County: Growth Management milestone tracking layer, MilestoneMap, MilestonePoints (926 buildings, with application status and next milestone inspection year).
• Pinellas County, City of St. Petersburg: Building Permitting milestone status layer, MilestoneUpdateSept (283 buildings, with phase approvals, substantial-deterioration and dangerous-condition flags). Other Pinellas cities and the unincorporated county are not yet included.
• Lee County: no jurisdiction in Lee publishes a roster, so the list is built from the Lee County Property Appraiser parcel file: every residential condo or co-op block with a building of three or more stories (1,469 blocks), with year built, stories and units. Completion status is unknown for Lee.
• Managing entity and unit count for every county: the DBPR Division of Florida Condominiums public extracts, joined on condominium name and county. The join currently attaches a managing entity to 86% of buildings; the rest carry the association name from the roster only.

Sample rows

Ten buildings from the list, one row per building. Association and building names are public entities on the county rosters. The subscriber file adds the street address, unit count, the roster's raw status text, the managing entity and its mailing address, and coordinates.

"Not in roster" means the county or city layer does not carry a year-built field; the subscriber file fills it from the property appraiser where possible.

Everything on this page and in the subscriber file is public record, compiled weekly from the sources named above. Rosters lag the building departments that maintain them, association names are normalised by software, and the Lee County rows are age-based only. Buyers verify a building's status with the local building department before acting on it. No unit owners appear in the list. Questions or corrections: [email protected].

Questions

Which Florida condo buildings need a milestone inspection?

Under Florida Statutes section 553.899, a condominium or cooperative building that is three habitable stories or more must have a milestone inspection by December 31 of the year it reaches 30 years of age, and every 10 years after that. A local enforcement agency may require the first inspection at 25 years where local conditions such as proximity to salt water justify it. One- to four-family dwellings are excluded.

Is there a statewide list of Florida condo milestone inspections?

No. The Department of Business and Professional Regulation collects reports from local enforcement agencies but does not publish a building-by-building list. Some counties and cities publish their own rosters as public GIS layers: Palm Beach County, Collier County and the City of St. Petersburg do. Lee County and its cities do not, so for Lee the only public signal is building age from the Property Appraiser file.

How is this list compiled and how often is it updated?

PermitRadar reads the published county and city rosters, the Lee County Property Appraiser parcel file and the DBPR Division of Condominiums extracts, normalises the association names and joins them so each building carries its managing entity and mailing address. The public rosters are re-read weekly. Every value is public record and buyers verify status with the local building department before acting on it.
