The association is the real purchase
When you buy a condo, you buy a share of a building and its budget. Florida tightened the rules after the 2021 Surfside collapse. Condo buildings three stories and taller now need milestone structural inspections, and many associations must complete a structural integrity reserve study and fund reserves for major parts like the roof and structure. Associations that skipped saving for years have had to raise dues or charge special assessments to catch up.
That’s why I’d ask for these documents before you’re past your review period:
- The current budget and the reserve balance
- The most recent reserve study, if the building needs one
- Any milestone inspection report
- Board meeting minutes from the last 12 months
- Any special assessment that’s been passed or proposed
The minutes are often the most useful. That’s where a board talks about a roof job or a lawsuit before it shows up as a bill.

Rules that can knock a unit off your list
Two units can look the same on paper and still not work for you. Check these early:
- Age restrictions. Some condo communities are 55 and over. If anyone in your household is younger, find out the rules first. My list of 55+ communities in Vero Beach covers how these rules usually work.
- Rental limits. Many associations set a minimum lease term, cap the number of rentals, or make new owners wait before renting. If you plan to rent it out part of the year, read the declaration.
- Pets. Weight limits and breed rules are common.
- Approval process. Some boards must approve a buyer before closing. Ask how long it takes.
Financing a condo is its own process
A condo loan isn’t the same as a house loan. Lenders review the building, not only you. They look at things like the owner-occupancy rate, reserve funding, and pending lawsuits. A building that fails that review can limit you to certain loan types or to cash.
So talk to your lender about the specific building, not only the price. Ask the listing agent for the condo questionnaire early. If you’re thinking about whether to own at all, my post on buying vs renting a condo runs through the trade-offs.
Insurance on a condo
The association insures the building’s structure under its master policy. You insure the inside of your unit and your belongings, usually with what’s called an HO-6 policy. Ask to see the master policy so you know where its coverage stops and yours starts. My page on Florida hurricane and flood insurance explains the wind and flood side.
