The proposed "Resilience District Act of 2025" establishes a framework for creating infrastructure resilience districts and condominium resilience districts in Florida. The bill outlines the petition process for establishing these districts, requiring taxpayers to provide detailed information, including district boundaries, consent from a majority of landowners, and a proposed budget. Local governments are responsible for conducting public hearings to evaluate these petitions, considering factors such as potential impacts on surrounding properties and alignment with local comprehensive plans. The act aims to address infrastructure challenges related to rising sea levels and flooding, particularly benefiting smaller communities and condominiums.

Additionally, the bill introduces specific provisions for condominium resilience districts, including requirements for budget transparency and financial management. It mandates that condominium associations provide approved budgets and funding plans when forming a district, and outlines conditions for borrowing funds. The governance structure of these districts is defined, including the appointment of a board of supervisors made up of property owners. The bill also proposes amendments to existing laws, such as allowing the merger of community development districts and updating terminology to reflect the focus on resilience. The act is set to take effect on July 1, 2025.
