New Florida Condo Bill SB 1196

A new Florida condo bill was signed by Governor Crist on June 1, 2010. There are a few points addressed in the bill that all condo owners and future owners should know. SB 1196 highlights are listed below:

  • Lenders will be required to pay more past-due assessments for foreclosed condonimiums.
  • Associations will be allowed to deny owners and occupants use of recreational facilities and common areas if the owner of the condo is 90 days delinquent in his/her obligations to pay the association dues.
  • Associations will be able to use rent paid by a tenant to pay delinquent assessments owed by the unit's owner.
  • Remove the requirement that condominium owners must purchase individual condo insurance coverage.
  • SB 1196 will also remove the requirement for sprinkler retrofits in condos that are 75 feet or higher.
