Calculate Your Date
Enter a Certificate of Occupancy date and select a jurisdiction to see the trigger age, the first due date, the recurring cycle and the authority behind the determination.
The Direct Answer
When is my building’s inspection due?
The first milestone inspection is due at the trigger age measured from the building’s Certificate of Occupancy, then every 10 years. The trigger age is 30 years under the statewide default, or 25 years where the Local Enforcement Agency adopted that trigger. Because Florida keeps no registry of those local adoptions, this tool shows the authority, verification date and any required confirmation.

Local Authority
A presumed state default should be confirmed before reliance. Review every jurisdiction.

Common Questions
- How do I calculate my milestone inspection deadline?
- Take the date on the building’s Certificate of Occupancy and add the trigger age that the Local Enforcement Agency with jurisdiction over the building applies — 30 years under the state default in F.S. §553.899(3), or 25 years where the agency adopted that trigger under §553.899(3)(b). The inspection then recurs every 10 years. Because the trigger age is a local determination and Florida publishes no registry of those determinations, the calculated date is only as reliable as the jurisdiction’s adopting ordinance, which is why this tool states the authority and verification date beside every result.
- What if my city has not adopted the 25-year trigger?
- Then the 30-year statewide default in F.S. §553.899(3) applies. The difficulty is proving a negative: for many Palm Beach County municipalities no adopting ordinance can be located in the public record, so the 30-year default is presumed rather than confirmed. This tool labels those results as presumed and tells you to confirm the trigger age with the local building department before the board relies on the date.
- Is the SIRS deadline the same as the milestone deadline?
- No. The milestone inspection clock under F.S. §553.899 runs from the building’s Certificate of Occupancy. The structural integrity reserve study cycle under F.S. §718.112(2)(g)1 runs from the creation of the condominium and repeats every 10 years. They are different triggers producing different dates, and neither report satisfies the other requirement.
- Does this calculator tell me whether my building is out of compliance?
- No. It calculates dates from the inputs you provide and states the authority behind the trigger age. It has no knowledge of a building’s inspection history, of any extension or filing granted by the local building department, or of the condition of the structure, so it never asserts a compliance status. Where a calculated date has already passed, it says only that the date has passed.
