Florida Senate Unanimously Passes Bill to Strengthen My Safe Florida Condominium Pilot Program
The Florida Senate has unanimously passed a bill to strengthen the My Safe Florida Condominium Pilot Program, and it’s now heading to the Governor for signature.
This matters to condo board members and residents because:
Grant Money Available: Condominiums three stories or higher could qualify for financial assistance to strengthen roofs, windows, and building structures against hurricanes.
75% Owner Approval Needed to Apply: Before a condo association can apply for a grant, at least 75% of all unit owners must vote in favor. Board members must coordinate an official vote and secure resident support before moving forward.
Insurance Savings Possible: Upgrades could help associations lower rising insurance premiums by qualifying for mitigation discounts.
Faster Access, Clearer Rules: The bill streamlines how roof repairs and reimbursement claims work, making it easier and faster for condos to get help.
The goal of the program is to make condos safer, better prepared for storms, and financially stronger in the face of Florida’s insurance challenges.
Upgrading your building’s hurricane resilience not only protects residents but could also ease the burden of soaring insurance costs. With new funding available, now is the time for boards and residents to come together and act.
