Florida Milestone Inspection Guide: 2026 Compliance
Understanding your building safety obligations under SB 154 and the HB 1021 accountability updates.
2026 Board Summary
- 30-Year Trigger: Initial inspections are mandatory statewide at the 30-year mark (25 years if coastal).
- The Two-Phase Process: Phase 1 is a non-invasive visual check; Phase 2 is only required if deterioration is found.
- 10-Year Intervals: Subsequent inspections must be performed every decade to maintain legal occupancy.
- Board Education: HB 1021 now requires directors to certify completion of safety and reserve training.
Phase 1 vs. Phase 2
Think of Phase 1 as a structural physical exam. If your engineer spots substantial rust, concrete spalling, or structural distress, Phase 2 is triggered to determine the full extent of the damage.
