100 Example Way, Anytown, FL · DBPR project SAMPLE-0000 · 120 units

1. Plain-English summary

State records for this building were found and are summarized below. No SIRS filing found matching this building's name in the state's databases, so that is worth asking the association about directly (buildings under three stories don't have to file). The state lists the association's registration as current, but one billing year shows a small unpaid balance on its state fees. The declaration was first recorded in 1994, which puts the building in the age range Florida's milestone-inspection law covers; the milestone report is held locally, and this dossier tells you where and how to ask for it.

Green flags

  • State registration is current (Approved / Recorded).
  • State fees paid in full for 2022–2025.

Open questions

  • No SIRS filing was matched by name. Ask the association whether one was filed, and under what name.
  • 2026 shows a pending balance of $48.00 in the state's payment records. Ask why.
  • Ask for the milestone inspection report (held by the local building department, see section 5).

2. State fee payment record

Five years of the association's annual state fees, from Florida's public payment-history records.

Billing yearBilledPaidPending
2022$480.00$480.00$0.00
2023$480.00$480.00$0.00
2024$480.00$480.00$0.00
2025$480.00$480.00$0.00
2026$480.00$432.00$48.00

Florida bills condominium associations $4 per unit per year. A complete, on-time record is a small but useful sign of how the association handles its paperwork; a pending balance is a question to ask.

3. Delinquency detail

Registration statusApproved / Recorded Recorded
Listed by the state as delinquent?No
Billing years with a pending balance1 (2026: $48.00)
Managing entity of recordExample Property Management LLC (made up)

When the state lists an association as delinquent, the dossier says so here and shows which years are behind. See how common that is in the statewide numbers.

4. SIRS record

No SIRS filing found matching this building

No Structural Integrity Reserve Study submission matching this building's name and county was found in the state's public SIRS databases. That is a question to ask, not a conclusion: buildings under three stories don't have to file, and a filing can be listed under a different name.

When filings are found, the dossier lists each one exactly as filed: association name, project name, location and when it was submitted.

5. Milestone inspection: who holds the records

Florida's milestone structural inspection reports are filed with the local building department, not with the state. For Sample Towers, that would be the Anytown Building Department (made up). A real dossier names the department for your building, links its portal where one exists and, for some cities, lists the recertification cases and structural permits on file.

Ready-to-send records request (copy, paste, send to the department or the association):

Please provide any public records for milestone inspection, building recertification, building safety inspection, structural or electrical safety reports, notices, extensions, review status, and related structural repair permits for: Sample Towers Condominium, 100 Example Way, Anytown, FL (DBPR project SAMPLE-0000). Please include Phase 1 and Phase 2 milestone reports and summary reports if available.

6. Registration record, flood zone and county context

Declaration first recorded03/15/1994
Declared units120
FEMA flood zoneZone X (shaded), moderate risk: flood insurance isn't federally required but is often recommended
County contextHow the building compares with other condos in its county: SIRS match rate, delinquency rate, typical size

7. What it means for a purchase, listing or loan file

General information, not legal advice: what a resale buyer is entitled to receive from the seller, why lenders and insurers ask for SIRS and milestone paperwork, and what this report can't tell you (it is a summary of public records, not an inspection or a review of the association's finances).

8. Buyer checklist

Use it during the 7-day document review period on a Florida resale:

  • Request the association's SIRS report itself (not just the filing) and its reserve funding schedule
  • Request the milestone inspection report from the association or the local building department, if it applies
  • Request the resale document package from the seller (s. 718.503, F.S.)
  • Ask the association about any special assessments: approved, pending or discussed
  • Confirm the association's insurance is current (property, flood, liability)
  • Check the current status in the DBPR SIRS database before closing
