Mainlands of Tamarac · Tamarac, Broward County
Selling in Mainlands of Tamarac
Short answer
Start by confirming what type of property you actually own. Florida's milestone-inspection requirement applies to buildings of three habitable stories or more, so a single-storey home or villa generally sits outside it — which removes the question that dominates most South Florida condo sales.
Last verified August 4, 2026The question owners here actually have
Does the structural-reserve regime even apply to my home, and what does that mean when I sell?
Mainlands is a 55+ community of single-storey homes and villas rather than mid-rise condominium buildings. That distinction is the whole story for a seller here: Florida's milestone-inspection requirement applies to buildings of three habitable stories or more, so a single-storey home sits outside it. The questions that dominate a condo sale — reserve studies, inspection findings, structural assessments — may simply not apply, and a seller who understands that can answer a nervous buyer's questions with confidence instead of uncertainty.
Alexandra's connection to this community
Alexandra named Mainlands of Tamarac specifically, and described working with 55+ communities as part of her regular practice.
That matters mainly because it shortens the discovery step. Someone who already knows how a community is organised does not spend the first two weeks of a listing working out which association holds which records.
What Florida law puts on the record
Under Florida Statutes §553.899, a milestone inspection applies to condominium and cooperative buildings three habitable stories or more in height, by December 31 of the year the building reaches 30 years, then every 10 years. A local enforcement agency may require the first inspection at 25 years where local circumstances — including proximity to salt water — apply.
A property below three habitable stories is generally outside the milestone requirement regardless of its age. Confirm your property's classification rather than assuming the condo rules apply to it.
What is the first thing to establish when selling in Mainlands of Tamarac?
Whether the structural-reserve and milestone-inspection rules apply to your property at all. Florida Statutes §553.899 covers buildings three habitable stories or more; a single-storey home or villa is generally outside that requirement.
Does the Florida milestone inspection apply here?
Florida Statutes §553.899 applies to condominium and cooperative buildings three habitable stories or more, by December 31 of the year the building turns 30, then every 10 years. A local enforcement agency may require the first inspection at 25 years where local circumstances such as proximity to salt water apply — a local determination. Confirm what applies to your specific address with the local building department.
Can I sell with an assessment outstanding?
Yes. An assessment does not prevent a sale. It changes the negotiation: who pays the balance, what the contract says, whether the records explain the reason, and whether a buyer's lender is comfortable with the project.
