Lead-based paint regulated by federal EPA RRP Rule and FL DEP. Apopka homes built before 1978 require certified renovators for any work disturbing painted surfaces. Disclosure required on sales and rentals.
Under federal TSCA (15 USC §2681-92) and EPA Lead Renovation, Repair, and Painting Rule (40 CFR Part 745), any renovation disturbing more than 6 square feet interior or 20 square feet exterior in pre-1978 housing must be performed by an EPA-certified renovator using lead-safe work practices. Florida Department of Health also administers lead poisoning prevention under FL §381.983. Sellers and landlords must provide the EPA pamphlet and disclosure of known lead hazards before sale or rental. Apopka has a mix of older homes (downtown) and newer subdivisions, so pre-1978 housing exists but is not the majority.
EPA RRP violations: federal fines up to 44,539 dollars per violation per day. Failure to disclose: civil liability to buyer/tenant plus treble damages under 42 USC §4852d.
