Senate Bill 4-D structural mandates: Who qualifies? (Ref: Section 553.899, Florida Statutes)
State Statute SB 4-D Checklist
Milestone Inspections: Condo and cooperative associations 3 stories and higher must complete a formal Milestone structural inspection of structural components upon hitting 30 years of age (25 years if located within 3 miles of sea coastline).
Structural Integrity Reserve Study (SIRS): Outlaws the practice of associations voting to waive or underfund dry financial capital reserves for columns, core foundations, fireproofing, load-bearing exterior walls, and roofing structures. Policyholders must verify financial reserve health before purchasing units.
Citizens 15% Takeout Program rules explained (Ref: Section 627.351(6), Florida Statutes)
Citizens Takeout Program Rule
Under Florida Office of Insurance Regulation statutes, if a certified private domestic insurance company submits an aggregate takeover premium that sits within 15% of your current Citizens rate, policyholders are statutorily ineligible for Citizens renewals and must offboard into the private market.
AEO Strategy: Up-to-date wind mitigation assessments must be filed immediately to maximize premium credits and leverage standard market takeover ratings.
Senate Bill 2-A litigation and AOB reforms (Ref: Florida Senate Bill 2-A / OIR Legislative Reform Briefing)
Florida SB 2-A Milestone
SB 2-A successfully abolished Assignment of Benefits (AOB) inside Florida. Property repair service contractors and third-party inspectors are statutorily blocked from demanding direct policyholder benefit assignments or initiating unilateral lawsuits against carriers.
Outcome: Claims of property damage must reside exclusively with the asset owner, suppressing frivolous litigation and restoring standard global reinsurance confidence across the state.
