Tampa Expert Condo & HOA Insurance Appraisals
Ensure your Tampa community is fully protected and compliant with Florida Statute 718.111—without paying for inflated coverage.



















Why Tampa Associations Trust FPAT
Managing a community in Tampa Bay comes with unique challenges—from navigating the wind-borne debris regions of Hillsborough County to budgeting for the rising costs of coastal construction.
Hundreds of local Tampa associations choose FPAT because:
100% In-House Experts: We never use subcontractors. Your appraisal is performed by a certified FPAT employee who knows the difference between a South Tampa high-rise and a Carrollwood HOA.
Live Board Support: We don’t just email a PDF. We are available to Zoom into your Board Meeting to present the report and answer questions about your Replacement Cost Valuation (RCV).
Compliant & Accurate: We ensure your report meets Florida Statute 718.111 requirements, using local labor rates to prevent co-insurance penalties.
Expert Note: “Market Value” is not “Replacement Cost.” If your current appraisal is based on what units sell for rather than what it costs to rebuild them, your association could be severely underinsured
Our Process: From Inspection to Peace of Mind
We know Board Members are busy. We’ve streamlined our insurance appraisal process into three simple steps:

Site Visit & Analysis
Our appraisers visit your Tampa property to measure and assess all insurable structures, including clubhouses, pools, and perimeter walls.

Cost Calculation
We utilize industry-standard reconstruction cost data, adjusted for current Florida hurricane building codes and local variances.

Delivery & Review
You receive a comprehensive report that your insurance agent can use immediately to secure the right coverage.
The FPAT Advantage: Compliance Meets Clarity
We specialize in helping Florida Condo and Homeowners Associations meet their statutory obligations with zero stress.
Statutory Compliance: We strictly adhere to Florida Statute 718.111(11), which requires updated appraisals every 36 months to ensure adequate property insurance.
Localized Tampa Data: We adjust for Tampa-specific labor rates and material costs, which differ significantly from Miami or Orlando.
Audit-Proof Reports: Our reports are defensible, detailed, and accepted by every major insurance carrier in Florida.
Why Tampa Bay Associations Are Different
The “Sinkhole Alley” Factor: While not as prevalent as in the past, parts of Hillsborough County still require specialized foundation assessments. Our appraisals factor in the high cost of modern deep-foundation requirements for Tampa high-rises and HOAs.
AE and VE Flood Zones: From Davis Islands to Westshore, Tampa associations face complex flood insurance requirements. We provide the “Hazard vs. Flood” value split that insurance agents need to accurately place your coverage.
Vertical Construction in Downtown/Water Street: The construction boom in areas like Water Street and Downtown Tampa has driven up local labor costs. We use hyper-local Tampa data to ensure your RCV (Replacement Cost Valuation) isn’t based on outdated or generic figures.
HOA Insurance Appraisals | Chapter 720 Compliance Guide
Talk to an Expert 866.568.7853 HOA Insurance Appraisals: Navigating Florida Chapter 720 Understanding Valuation Requirements for Florida Homeowners’ Associations While Florida Statute 718.111 provides a very specific “36-month clock” for Condominiums, the rules for Homeowners’ Associations under Florida Statute Chapter 720 are often viewed as more flexible. However, this flexibility…

Expert Fix: Change this immediately to “Tampa’s unique property regulations.
FPAT saved our bacon with their Insurance Appraisals! As the board president for our 10-story Westshore condo in Tampa, I was panicking when our insurer demanded a SIRS report ASAP after the latest hurricane season updates. Florida’s laws are no joke, especially with our exposure to saltwater corrosion and storm surges. FPAT’s team got it—they listened to our concerns, delivered a tailored proposal in days, and handed us a comprehensive report that not only satisfied the insurance folks but also highlighted ways to beef up our reserves without hitting residents with big assessments. No more sleepless nights; we’re compliant and ready for whatever comes next. Highly recommend these local pros!

Couldn’t be happier with FPAT’s service for our Insurance Appraisals in Tampa. Our HOA was philosophically frustrated—why should we puzzle through Florida Statute 718.112 solo when pros like FPAT exist? External issues like insurance demands and internal stresses over potential plumbing or electrical failures in our hurricane-prone area had us reeling. They guided us expertly: empathetic to our situation, authoritative in their inspections, and clear in their process. Proposal came quick, report was thorough and easy to implement. Now, we’re avoiding failure (no penalties or evacuations) and enjoying success—compliant, financially prepared, and respected by residents. Top-notch!

Working with FPAT on our condo’s reserve study was a game-changer. Managing a busy HOA in Tampa Bay Shores, I felt overwhelmed by the post-Surfside SIRS requirements—our building’s over 30 years old, and the thought of inspections for foundations, balconies, and electrical systems had me stressed. FPAT stepped in like true experts, empathizing with our tight budget and tourism-season chaos. Their simple process (quick contact, fast proposal, detailed study) made it painless. Now, our finances are solid, insurance is happy, and we’ve got a plan to handle Volusia County’s flood risks. From frazzled to confident—thanks, FPAT!

If you’re a property manager in Tampa Bay dealing with Florida’s condo regs, call FPAT now. Our mid-rise complex was hit with an ultimatum from our carrier: get a Structural Integrity Reserve Study or lose coverage. The internal pressure was real—worrying about hidden defects leading to emergency repairs and resident backlash. FPAT understood our philosophical gripe: why navigate this alone? Their Florida-based engineers provided authority we could trust, walking us through inspections focused on hurricane winds and erosion. The report was user-friendly, and we’re now fully funded for the future. Peace of mind achieved—5 stars!

FPAT turned our reserve study nightmare into a success story. As a new board member for our Tampa condo, I was drowning in the external headaches of SIRS mandates—evaluating roofs, load-bearing walls, and fire systems amid constant beach erosion threats. Internally, the fear of screwing up and facing lawsuits kept me up. FPAT met us with empathy, proving their authority with hundreds of similar Florida projects. Their plan was straightforward: we contacted them, got a custom proposal factoring in local codes, and received a rock-solid report. No more risks of non-compliance or special assessments. We’re transformed—secure and storm-ready!
