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.

01

Do not treat termination as a listing decision

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.

02

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.
03

Keep the transaction organized

Use the special-assessment guide to separate an assessment record from termination under §718.117.

Use the association-litigation guide to organize a pending case separately from a recorded termination plan under §718.117.
