Florida's Caostal Hazards Disclosure Law: Property Owner Perceptions of the Physical and Regulatory Environment: Executive Summary with Conclusions and Recommendations for Statutory Reform.

摘要

This project was designed to determine how well Florida's coastal hazards disclosure law is performing, and the extent to which coastal property purchasers considered the information provided by the disclosure statement in their purchase decision. To accomplish this, a mail survey was distributed to 2,500 randomly selected coastal property owners in five coastal counties on the Atlantic Ocean, Gulf Coast, and in the Florida Panhandle (Brevard, Nassau, Sarasota, St. Johns, and Walton counties). Surveys were sent to property owners that records indicated had purchased their property after the effective date of the statute and were entitled to receive the notice based on the location of their property in relation to the CCCL.
