McDaniel: New condo law makes civic engagement vital
At year’s end, 2024 had shaped up to be a period of transition in the real estate market. New laws and policies make the information provided by the Naples Area Board of Realtors, and other such groups, vital in providing trustworthy property information. With condominiums an attractive housing option in the Sunshine State, recent changes are shaping the landscape for consumers. The 2021 collapse of the Champlain Towers in Surfside, Florida, near Miami, has influenced condo policy statewide. The passage of the SB4-D Building Safety Bill in 2022 dictates new guidelines for the construction and upkeep of condominium structures. It is important to note the passage mentioning condo associations and cooperative associations in understanding options available to condo residents.
