What Else to Check
- Historic district review The City of West Palm Beach reviews exterior changes to homes in its historic districts, on every side of the building. A certificate of appropriateness comes from City staff for smaller work and from the Historic Preservation Board for major work; interior remodeling is not reviewed.
- Historic tax exemption The City’s ad valorem exemption can keep qualifying restoration work from raising the taxes for up to ten years. The City says to apply before any work starts.
- 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: the association disclosure summary and the parcel’s tax bill, including any non-ad valorem lines
- Before you sign: leasing and approval rules if you may rent, and architectural rules for exterior changes
- Before closing: estoppel certificates from every association that applies
