BOCA RATON, FL (BocaNewsNow.com) (Copyright © 2025 MetroDesk Media, LLC) — New mandatory rules in place for condominium building inspections following the Champlain Towers disaster are causing confusion for some condo owners, associations, and building management firms in Palm Beach County. To help explain what is required, Palm Beach County just launched a website with vital information. Planning and Zoning officials shared this announcement with BocaNewsNow.com.
>>The Palm Beach County Planning, Zoning, and Building Department is pleased to announce the launch of a new online resource to assist county stakeholders affected by state-mandated milestone inspections for condominium and cooperative buildings that are three stories or taller in unincorporated Palm Beach County. The new Milestone Inspections webpage provides essential guidance and general information on inspection requirements, including association responsibilities, key deadlines, extension requests, submission guidelines, and more.
These mandatory inspections are critical for ensuring the structural integrity of buildings and the safety of residents. All inspections must be conducted by a licensed architect or engineer authorized to practice in Florida. Failure to comply may result in penalties or enforcement action. To date, the majority of condominiums and cooperative buildings in unincorporated Palm Beach County are in compliance, however, there are still a number of them that are not.
Reminder notices have been sent to the boards of directors and management organizations of the noncompliant buildings.
