The short answer

Boca's guidelines add a specific inspection of underground and lower-level garages. Boca counts uninhabitable stories such as underground parking when deciding whether a building is covered.

Parking structures under the Boca Raton rules
- The guidelines single out underground and lower-level garages, citing low ground elevation, a shallow and rising water table, porous ground and a corrosive coastal environment, and add an inspection of how the garage has been maintained.
- The program covers condo and co-op buildings three stories or more, or 50 feet or more in height, and it counts uninhabitable stories such as underground parking toward that height.
- The guidelines list railings, guardrails and balcony and terrace enclosures among the facade items the engineer examines, and unpermitted balcony enclosures must be identified and legalized before the building can be recertified.
- Citing NIST's preliminary findings on Champlain Towers South, the guidelines ask engineers to look closely at deck slabs, plaza decks, columns and transfer members for signs of distress such as efflorescence.
- Once the city finds the report sufficient, the owner has 365 days to start the repairs under permit, unless the Building Official or engineer of record sets a shorter time, and the repair permit must stay active. After the work, the engineer re-inspects and files a sealed letter or amended report.
How we handle parking garage restoration in Boca Raton
Because Boca counts underground parking levels as stories, garage slabs and columns under a condo can bring the whole building into the program. When the recertification finds repairs, we line up a contractor who works to the engineer's scope and collect the photos and reports the city expects with the resubmittal.[2]

Frequently asked questions
Is our parking garage covered by the Boca Raton rules?
The program covers condo and co-op buildings three stories or more, or 50 feet or more in height, and it counts uninhabitable stories such as underground parking toward that height. Garage repairs often run in phases so residents keep somewhere to park.
Does a two-story building over a parking garage count in Boca Raton?
Boca's program counts uninhabitable stories such as underground parking when deciding whether a building is three stories or 50 feet, so it may be covered even if the state law would not count those levels.
Where can we see when our Boca Raton building is due?
The city publishes a recertification schedule for 2027 to 2031 and a revised backlog schedule on its program page.
