Diplomat Oceanfront Residences (Hollywood): what the official records say

This page covers only Diplomat Oceanfront Residences, the condominium at 3535 S Ocean Dr in Hollywood. Its sales come from the recorded sales the Broward County Property Appraiser keeps by subdivision. The reserve study (SIRS) could not be verified in this pass and the page says so: the DBPR site stayed behind its anti-bot check.

In the records read, Diplomat Oceanfront Residences appears as its own condominium. Unlike other condominiums, the county record shows no single parent folio for this building: each unit has its own folio and they all share the same start (514223CB). The identity data comes from the Broward County Property Appraiser (the county office that keeps the record of every property), read on November 5, 2026.

These figures come only from public records, not from listings or the MLS. The listing is built from the sales the Broward County Property Appraiser records for the subdivision "DIPLOMAT OCEANFRONT RESIDENCES CONDO", between November 5, 2024 and November 5, 2026 (24 months). The Property Appraiser itself marks each sale as Qualified (an arm's-length market sale with a real price) or Disqualified (transfers that do not represent the market, such as family transfers or corrective deeds). Only the qualified ones count: 10 of 12 records. The two disqualified ones are named in the transactions table with their mark and do not enter the median or the range.

The complete series of qualified prices, lowest to highest: $1,250,000 · $1,250,000 · $1,285,000 · $1,468,500 · $1,625,000 · $1,800,000 · $1,854,000 · $2,075,000 · $2,300,000 · $2,725,000. The most recent transactions in the record, with their qualification:

The two remaining qualified sales in the window: March 20, 2025, unit 402, $1,468,500; and December 12, 2024, unit 1801, $2,725,000. A sale on October 15, 2024 (unit 2402, $3,350,000) falls outside the 24-month window and is not counted.

"Pending official confirmation" means that no public record showing it was read. It does not mean the fact exists or that it does not. "Not verified" means the check itself could not be completed in this pass.

What the public records do not show is held by the building's association. Ask for it in writing and keep the answers:

• The complete reserve study (SIRS). In this pass, not even its filing with the DBPR could be verified. Ask the association for the study, the current reserve level and the proof of filing. If the association will not provide it, have that in writing.
• The status of the state structural inspection (milestone) and the county recertification: the notice, the filed report and the closing letter, if they exist.
• Special assessments approved or under discussion: the minutes of the last two years and the unit's account statement letter (the "estoppel": what the unit owes the association and the charges in force). The guide to the condo special assessment explains it.
• Major works: what they include, on what dates, with what permits, who pays and how (a charge to the owners, a loan, or reserves).
• If you plan to use an FHA loan: the project does not appear on the HUD list. Ask your lender about single-unit approval and the loan's other routes. The guide to the condo with an FHA loan explains how the list is read.

What is NOT public (but you must verify):

• The exact HOA fee of the unit: it varies by unit (split by square feet and interest percentage); no listing or public record sets it for your unit.
• The current amount of a special assessment: the amount and payment terms exist only in the association's documents; a figure seen in the press or in listings is not the document.
• The current rental, Airbnb and pet rules: they live in the association's documents, not in the public record; ask for them in writing.
• The association's budget and reserve level: internal association documents, for owners only.
• The building's status on lenders' confidential lists: none of those lists is public; your lender confirms it.
