Florida condominium termination
What does condo termination mean for a unit owner?
Short answer
Condominium termination ends the condominium form of ownership through a statutory plan; it is not an ordinary sale of one unit by its owner. The declaration, amendments, recorded plan of termination, title record, and Florida Statutes §718.117 control the property-specific analysis.

A termination plan is a written instrument with statutory contents, execution, recording, notice, and challenge provisions under §718.117(9), (10), and (16).
An ordinary unit sale transfers one owner’s interest under a purchase contract; condominium termination changes the condominium ownership structure under §718.117.
Build the property-specific file
- Obtain the recorded declaration and amendments before drawing a property-specific conclusion under §718.117.
- Obtain any recorded plan of termination and its exhibits; the statutory contents appear in §718.117(9).
- Verify recording information, notices, title interests, and any filed proceeding against the official record under §718.117(9), (10), and (16).
- Have Florida counsel interpret voting, allocation, title, objection, and challenge provisions for that declaration and plan under §718.117.
