The short answer

In unincorporated Palm Beach County, buildings within 3 miles of a coastline need their first milestone inspection at 25 years and others at 30, then every 10 years. The county sends certified letters in the year the inspection is due, allows 180 days to complete it unless a fixed deadline applies, and requires repairs to commence within 365 days (Palm Beach County Building Division).
