Florida’s new law, the Conveyances to Foreign Entities Act (the "Act"), Sections 692.201 – 205, Florida Statutes, went into effect on July 1, 2023, and redefined the Florida real estate market for foreign purchasers from seven “countries of concern.” The Act requires those foreign purchasers to determine whether they are Foreign Principals prohibited from acquiring or owning real property in Florida, whether they are subject to registration requirements, or whether they are required to dispose of such real estate. Non-compliance renders the real property subject to forfeiture and sale of such real property (subject only to the rights and interests of bona fide lienholders) and risks daily fines of $1,000 and criminal penalties.
