Florida statute 161.57 requires that buyers of property located in coastal areas partially or totally seaward of the coastal construction control line (as defined in Florida statute 161.053) are fully apprised of the character of the regulation of the real property in such coastal areas and, in particular, that such lands are subject to frequent and severe fluctuations.

What is the language used for the Coastal Properties Disclosure Statement?

Additional information can be obtained from the Florida Department of Environmental Protection, including whether there are significant erosion conditions associated with the shoreline of the property being purchased.
When should this disclosure be provided?
At or prior to the time a seller and a purchaser both execute a contract for sale and purchase of any interest in real property located partially or totally seaward of the coastal construction control line

Are there any other requirements of this statute?
Yes, the seller shall provide to the purchaser an affidavit, or a survey meeting the requirements of chapter 472, delineating the location of the coastal construction control line on the property being transferred. The Florida Realtors also has a form available for this, known as "Coastal Construction Control Line Affadavit".
