Condo Market

Gov. Ron DeSantis on Monday signed a bill to revamp condominium-safety laws passed after the 2021 collapse of the Champlain Towers South building in Surfside that killed 98 people. The wide-ranging bill (HB 913), approved unanimously by the House and Senate in April, was crafted after residents and condominium associations argued that the laws passed after the collapse were driving up costs.

High association fees, constant assessments and strict state policies are some of the reasons Southwest Floridians are putting condo’s up for sale at a record pace.
