When I owned a condo in the early 2000s, prices were more affordable, and taxes and insurance were manageable.
In 2005 when Hurricane Wilma struck Florida, my community was hit with a massive $75,000 per unit special assessment even though my unit and many others did not sustain damage.
I eventually sold my condo. But today, many residents don’t have that option, and the problems only seem to worsen.
That’s why Gov. Ron DeSantis called for a special session to address relief for condo owners and possibly more cash for the My Safe Florida Home program.
Now, as executive director of the Florida Landowners Association, which empowers landowners throughout Florida to engage, educate and demonstrate to the public why protecting landownership rights is important, we hope Florida lawmakers will come up with a relief package during this special session.
We all know that in the wake of the 2021 Surfside collapse, condo owners feel that reforms implemented by the Florida Legislature could force them out of their homes.
