If your building is subject to these codes, the building must have its first milestone inspection performed by December 31 of the year in which the building reaches 25 or 30 years of age, based on the date of the certificate of occupancy for the building was issued and local enforcement agency expectations, and every 10 years thereafter.

  • As of the current legislation (Florida Statute 553.899), buildings that are 30 years or older, with a Certificate of Occupancy issued before July 1992, must complete a milestone inspection by December 31, 2024, and have inspections every 10 years.
  • If a building reaches 30 years of age on or after July 1, 2022, and before December 31, 2024, the building’s initial milestone inspection must be performed before December 31, 2025.
  • If the date of issuance for the certificate of occupancy is not available, the date of issuance of the building’s certificate of occupancy shall be the date of occupancy evidenced in any record of the local building official.

If your building is subject to certain environmental conditions such as proximity to salt water or placement within three miles of a coastline as defined in Statute 379.101, it may be required to first receive its first milestone inspection at 25 years of age and every 10 years thereafter. Check with your local enforcement agency to confirm inspection timing for your building.
