Service Animals and Sarasota Condo Ownership
Florida condo associations must honor the rights of a resident to own an Emotional Support Animal despite having condo restrictions on pets. On the other hand, the statutes provide condo associations with a legal tool to prevent the formerly commonplace fraud of passing off pets as emotional support animals. Buyers may be able to have a service animal, even if the condo restricts pets. However, this is not a slam dunk for buyers.
If the condo association would have a reason to question an owner’s disability or need to own a service animal, the association is allowed by law to request reliable documentation of a disability and their disability-related need for a service animal before the Association determines whether an accommodation is necessary.
There is a Florida statute now in place as an anti-fraud reform that outlines a more consistent standard in determining the requirements of an ESA, and sets out penalties that can be levied on those who make false claims. It is currently a misdemeanor to knowingly provide false information that misrepresents a person as having a disability-related need for an ESA. Even the health care provider that aids in a false claim is subject to disciplinary action.

A Realtor can access the rules and regulations of the condo and verify specific pet criteria.
