Who owns the doors in a Florida condo?

Answer 1

Read your governing documents to determine who owns the windows. This is an often debated and often mis-understood guideline in condominium ownership.

Best practices dictate that the windows are owned by the association, being the window frames, exterior flashing and installation elements -- making the windows a key part of the building envelope or weather protection barrier.

In this case the association requires definitions as to how much upgrade work an owner is allowed to do/ or must document to the interior of the 'window'.

The association can also define the glass elements in the window as owned by the unit owner, which means that the association can charge the owner for window washing and glass replacement.

Answer 2

There is no standard for who owns doors -- or windows -- in condominiums, in any state. Read your governing documents to determine who owns the doors.
