What Florida's Condo Safety Laws Mean Here

Since the 2022 reforms that followed the Surfside collapse, Florida requires condo buildings three stories or taller to complete a Milestone Inspection and a Structural Integrity Reserve Study (SIRS), and as of January 2026, reserve funding for those structural items can no longer be waived by a vote — it has to be fully funded. This has caught a lot of buildings off guard with steep fee increases, and in some cases buyers can't even get a normal loan if a building hasn't completed its inspection.

Here's how it breaks down at Sweetwater:

Milestone & SIRS complete

Sandpiper Village

Sandpiper is four stories, which puts it squarely under the law — and it has already completed both its Milestone Inspection and SIRS, with adequate reserve funding on file. I'm happy to send you the latest reserve study if you're seriously considering a unit here; just ask.

The Tides

These are two-story buildings, which generally puts them outside the mandatory Milestone/SIRS requirement (that kicks in at three stories). Reserve funding here is still worth asking about, but the regulatory pressure driving fee spikes elsewhere in Florida largely doesn't apply.

Tides II

Also two-story, single-level villa-style buildings — same situation as The Tides. Worth confirming reserve health as part of any purchase, but not subject to the three-story SIRS mandate.

This is general guidance, not a substitute for reviewing the actual documents — I'd encourage anyone seriously considering a purchase here to request the current reserve study and any association financials before writing an offer.

Which One Is Right for You?

Prioritizing Accessibility

Start with Sandpiper Village (elevators) or Tides II (zero-step, wide halls/doors). Lower units in The Tides also work well.

Need a Garage

The Tides offers 1-car; Tides II offers 2-car. If a garage isn't pivotal, Sandpiper delivers maximum interior space.

Lock-and-Leave Lifestyle

Sandpiper Village shines for elevator convenience, secure entries, a documented Milestone/SIRS record, and a friendly building culture.
