Property Insurance Changes

Here's another new law that you need to be aware of, as you're moving into the Mr C Residences new construction condos. There have been changes to the way property insurance works, and it may differ to how your insurance worked in your past home state.

You'll need to keep all of this in mind if you're buying a Mr C Residences property. 

Repealed Toll Road Laws

Two years ago a law was put in place to increase the amount of toll roads in Florida, and this turned out to be a controversial move with the residents of the state. This year, SB 100 is looking to repeal that law, something that Mr C Residences new construction condos residents will be grateful for.

Changes To COVID Passports

As you well know, many businesses and institutions in recent months have required a 'COVID passport' to show you were either vaccinated or had a negative COVID test, before you could enter. That's been a vital part of reducing the spread of the virus, but recent law SB 2006 is looking to prevent this.
