DeSantis signs legislation aimed at bringing relief to Florida condo owners

Gov. Ron DeSantis has signed a bill aimed at providing relief to condominium owners who are caught in the middle of new safety rules and the economic realities that come with them.

The bill — HB 913 — was meant to “deliver much-needed relief to condo owners across Florida,” the governor says in a statement, by easing financial constraints and giving unit owners a bit more of a say.

The legislation unanimously passed in the House and Senate earlier this year after legislators passed safety legislation in 2022 and updated it in 2023 in the aftermath of the collapse of the 12-story Champlain Tower South in Surfside June 24, 2021.
