The short answer
State law sets the milestone inspection rules, but each building department sends the notices, decides whether buildings near salt water start at 25 years, and runs its own filing portal and fees. Miami-Dade and Broward also keep their own recertification programs. These pages cover the departments whose own published rules we have read; we work statewide.
