Summary
The commission unanimously adopted Ordinance 13-2025, which requires milestone inspections for residential condominiums three or more habitable stories and 30 years or older, with follow-up inspections every 10 years and administrative reporting; the measure implements provisions of F.S. Sec. 553.899.
The San Antonio City Commission unanimously adopted Ordinance 13-2025 on Dec. 16, 2025, amending the city code to require milestone inspections for residential condominiums three or more habitable stories in height and 30 years or older, with follow-up inspections every 10 years and repair requirements for buildings found to have substantial structural damage.
The change implements provisions referenced in F.S. Section 553.899 and adds an administrative process for recording and reporting inspection results and repairs. Commissioner Caitlin Bolender reported that building-permit activity for November was $700 before the hearing. Jeff Schmucker of the Central Florida Regional Planning Council gave a presentation to the commission explaining the ordinance’s requirements and process.
Commissioner Randy Huckabee moved to adopt the ordinance; Commissioner Blaze Drinkwine seconded. The vote was recorded as AYE from Commissioners Huckabee, Madden, Drinkwine, Bolender and Mayor John Vogel II. The public hearing was opened and closed as part of the proceedings.
The ordinance text included provisions for inspection frequency, repair requirements, and administrative reporting, but the transcript does not specify the ordinance’s exact effective date beyond the language that an effective date is provided in the measure’s text.
