The coastal line
The county building division sets the first inspection at 25 years within three miles of a coastline and 30 years beyond it, repeating every 10 years (Palm Beach County PZB, mandatory milestone inspections). Reports go in on form EB18-2024 through the county portal, one building and one report type per submission. Cities such as Boca Raton and West Palm Beach handle their own buildings.
Where the SIRS picks up
Salt air is hard on exactly the items the SIRS lists: concrete and rebar (b), balcony waterproofing (f) and window and door hardware (g). A provider working near the ocean should shorten remaining-life estimates accordingly, and the board should expect higher annual figures for those lines than an inland building of the same age.
If a phase two report has come back, repairs must start within 365 days. Price those repairs into the SIRS so the funding plan and the repair schedule tell the same story.
The state rule, unchanged by county
Whatever the local program, the SIRS itself is state law. Every condo or co-op building of three habitable stories or more in Palm Beach County needs one at least every 10 years, covering the eight statute items, signed by one of the four credentials, with reserves that owners cannot waive. The deadlines page has the dates.
