DeSantis Signs Law Easing Demolitions Of Aging Coastal Buildings, Creating “Massive Redevelopment Implications”
Senate Bill 1526 strips local municipalities of their authority to ban, restrict or prevent the demolition of “nonconforming” and unsafe structures. The exceptions are for buildings individually placed on the National Register of Historic Places, contributing structures within a historic district listed in the National Register before 2000, and single-family homes.
