Coronado at Doral Architectural / Unit Modification Requests

Planning an interior upgrade? (Per Florida Statue 718.113 and Association Guidelines) Any Flooring Replacement, Kitchen Remodel, Bathroom Renovation, Electrical Work, Plumbing Work, Painting / Interior Finish, or AC / HVAC Work requires prior written approval from the Association. Before hiring contractors, submit an Architectural Modification Request with detailed plans/specs, contractor licenses and certificates of insurance naming the Association as additional insured, proposed schedule, and any required city permits. Applications are typically reviewed within 15–30 days, and you’ll receive a written decision by email. Work may not begin until approval is issued; unapproved work may be subject to fines and restoration at the owner’s expense. All projects must protect common areas (hallways, debris removal), observe posted construction hours, and comply with the Declaration, Rules & Regulations, and building codes.
