What is 40 Year Recertification?
The 40 Year Recertification is a mandatory structural and electrical inspection required for buildings in Miami-Dade and Broward counties once they reach 40 years of age. This process ensures that aging buildings remain safe and comply with updated building codes. After the initial 40-year inspection, recertification is required every 10 years.
Why is 40 Year Recertification Important?
- Safety Compliance: Identifies structural or electrical issues that could pose safety hazards.
- Legal Requirement: Non-compliance can result in fines and possible evacuation orders.
- Property Value: Ensures your building remains in good condition, protecting its market value.
- Insurance Benefits: Helps maintain eligibility for property insurance coverage.

- Buildings 40 years or older in Miami-Dade and Broward counties.
- Properties with occupancy classifications other than single-family homes, duplexes, and certain minor structures.
- Buildings with an area greater than 2,000 square feet.
