Governor Ron DeSantis is addressing the 'condominium crisis' in Florida, advocating for reforms to relieve condo owners from rising insurance and homeowners association fees due to new safety inspection requirements for buildings aged 30 years or older. At a recent roundtable discussion in Pinellas Park, DeSantis expressed his commitment to collaborate with condo owners and association leaders to create sensible policies before the end of the year. He emphasized the urgency of legislative action, given that the current session does not begin until March 2024, and proposed a special session to expedite the process. The new law mandates safety inspections by qualified professionals and requires condo owners to set aside funds for emergency repairs, with a deadline of December 31 for compliance. DeSantis aims to provide feedback to the legislature to encourage thoughtful reforms that balance safety and costs for residents. He remains optimistic that lawmakers will respond to these pressing concerns promptly.
