Balcony Inspections in Central & South Florida
Fortunately, working with professional inspectors like Guardian Angel Inspections makes the process simple and efficient.
In Florida, ensuring the safety of public spaces is a top priority, which is why strict regulations apply to balcony inspections. Whether you own an apartment building, hotel, or condo, it’s essential to stay compliant with these laws. But the real question is, do you need an inspection?
If your property is three or more stories tall, and it’s been three years since your last inspection, you may be due for a balcony inspection.
Why Are Balcony Inspections Required?
Balcony inspections are mandated by law for a good reason: they help minimize the risk of accidents while ensuring the structural integrity and safety of balconies. At Guardian Angel Inspections, we check your property’s balconies to confirm they are safe for public use and in compliance with the Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation’s DBPR-HR-7020 guidelines.
Do You Need an Inspection Right Now?
If your building meets any of the following conditions, it’s time to schedule a balcony inspection:
- The building is at least three stories tall
- The balcony is more than 17 feet above the ground
- The last inspection was over three years ago

According to Florida law, balconies must be inspected every three years, and the inspection should include filling out the Form HR-7020.
