Overview

About Tropic Harbor

Tropic Harbor is a condominium community of mid-rise buildings on Spanish Trail and Spanish Circle, on the water in the southeast corner of Delray Beach. The county roll counts about 223 homes, most built in 1969 and 1970 and a final part in 1979.

It is organized in numbered parts, Tropic Harbor Condominium Part One through Part Seven, so a home belongs to the association for its part. Most units are about 1,000 square feet of living area on the roll, typically two bedrooms.

Listings describe a marina for owners with slips leased by the association, two heated pools, a clubhouse and fitness room. We confirm slip availability, size limits and the part’s budget and reserves for a specific home.

It sits south of Linton Boulevard and east of Federal Highway near Tropic Isle, in the 33483 ZIP inside the City of Delray Beach, a short drive to the beach and to downtown.

  • Dockage Marina slips are leased through the association; we confirm availability, size limits and the lease terms.
  • Rental and pet rules Leasing and pet limits come from the declaration and the rules; we confirm them for a specific unit before you count on them.
  • Taxes and insurance After a sale the assessed value resets the following January. Flood zone and roof age drive insurance quotes, so we check both for the address.
  • Estoppel The closing agent orders an estoppel certificate from each association, which confirms what is owed at closing.

Documents to Review Before Closing

  • Before you sign: leasing, pet and approval rules if they matter to you
  • After you sign: the declaration, articles, bylaws, rules, budget and reserves, with the cancellation window Florida law sets once you receive them
  • For buildings three stories or taller: milestone inspection and structural integrity reserve study status
  • Before closing: the estoppel certificate from the condominium association
