FL H1647

Creates the "Resiliency and Safe Structures Act" (s. 553.8991, F.S.), which prohibits local governments from restricting or preventing the demolition of nonconforming structures, unsafe buildings, or buildings ordered demolished that are located seaward of the coastal construction control line, except for public safety reasons.

Requires local governments to authorize replacement structures to be built to the maximum height and building size allowed by local zoning regulations for similarly situated parcels, and prohibits them from requiring replication or preservation of elements of demolished structures.

Limits local government review of demolition permit applications to compliance with the Florida Building Code, Fire Prevention Code, and Life Safety Code, and bars imposition of additional land development regulations, public hearings, or administrative processes beyond what would apply to a similarly situated vacant parcel.

Exempts from the act single-family homes, structures individually listed on the National Register of Historic Places, contributing structures in historic districts listed before January 1, 2000, and certain structures on barrier islands in municipalities with populations under 10,000.

Preempts local government authority by voiding any local law contrary to the act, applies retroactively to any previously adopted conflicting laws, and prohibits local governments from penalizing owners or developers for actions taken under the act.
