FL S1526

Cited as the "Resiliency and Safe Structures Act," applies to nonconforming, unsafe, or demolition-ordered structures on properties located seaward of the coastal construction control line, excluding single-family homes, certain National Register historic properties listed before January 1, 2000, and buildings on barrier islands in municipalities under 10,000 population meeting specific flood zone criteria

Local governments are prohibited from restricting or preventing demolition of qualifying structures for any reason other than public safety, and may only administratively review demolition permits for compliance with the Florida Building Code, Fire Prevention Code, and Life Safety Code

Replacement structures must be authorized to the maximum height and building size allowed by local development regulations for a similarly situated parcel in the same zoning district, with no reduction in development potential

Local governments may not require replication or preservation of elements of a demolished structure, impose additional regulatory or building requirements, or add public hearings beyond what would apply to a similarly situated vacant parcel

The act applies retroactively, preempts local laws that conflict with its provisions, voids any contrary local government law, and prohibits local governments from penalizing owners or developers for actions taken under the act
