Florida Confirms: 10-year statute of repose runs from date of certificate of occupancy, not sale of property

Florida’s 2nd DCA recently confirmed in Westpark Preserve v. Polte Homes, that Florida’s statute of repose runs 10 years from the date of the certificate of occupancy, not the date of the sale.

This means that property owners have 10 years to sue the builder from the date the certificate of occupancy is issued.
