Insurance Update

 In 2004 the Florida Legislature passed dramatic changes to the Florida Condominium Act. The "condo doc's" no longer dictate the insuring responsibilities for the Association and the unit-owner. This applies to all condominiums across the State of Florida.

The law provides that unit-owners must insure the following:

  • Floor, wall and ceiling coverings

  • Electrical Fixtures

  • Appliances

  • Air conditioning and heating equipment

  • water heaters and water filters

  • built in cabinets and countertops

  • window treatments (drapes/blinds etc.)

  • air compressors that service one unit no matter where they are located

 

We advise all to contact an insurance professional to discuss your insurance needs. If you need help finding an agent please email steve@islandmgmt.com for assistance.
