Lead-based paint disclosure and RRP compliance in Delray Beach follows federal law (40 CFR 745). Pre-1978 homes require EPA RRP-certified contractors for renovation work disturbing more than 6 sq ft interior or 20 sq ft exterior.
Federal Lead Renovation, Repair and Painting (RRP) Rule requires EPA-certified firms and certified renovators for any work disturbing lead-based paint in homes built before 1978. Florida has not assumed primacy so EPA enforces directly. Sellers and landlords must provide the EPA Lead pamphlet and Lead Disclosure form before signing (24 CFR 35). Delray Beach building permits for pre-1978 structures typically request RRP certification from contractors. Delray housing stock has significant pre-1978 homes in Osceola Park and West Settlers historic district.
EPA RRP violations: up to 46,989 dollars per day per violation. Failure to disclose: triple damages plus attorney fees under 42 USC 4852d.
