The Galleon (Fort Lauderdale): what the official records say

The Galleon is a single oceanfront building, at 4100 Galt Ocean Dr, with one BCPA folio prefix (494319AD) and 213 units. This page covers that building and no other: the same ZIP code holds other Galt Ocean Dr condominiums that are not this one.

The identity data comes from the BCPA (the Broward County Property Appraiser, the county office that keeps the record of every property), read on October 22, 2026. Broward does not use a single parent folio the way Miami-Dade does: the condominium is identified by its folio prefix.

These figures come only from public records, not from listings or the MLS. The BCPA publishes, for each subdivision, a list of recent sales ("Recent Sales In This Subdivision") with the rating the Appraiser itself gives each record. Only records with code Q (qualified, arm's-length) and a positive price were counted, between October 22, 2024 and October 22, 2026 (24 months). Records with code E are excluded and declared below. A stated limit of this source: title changes with no sale (code T) do not appear on the BCPA sales list, so the total number of transfers in the window cannot be derived from that list and is not stated: the reconciliation on this page covers the sales list, not the universe of transfers.

The BCPA sales list does not give a date or unit for each qualified sale — it publishes the full verified price series — so instead of a table of individual transactions this section carries the distribution by price band computed from that series. Full series of the 15 qualified sales, lowest to highest: $399,000 · $450,000 · $495,000 · $540,000 · $570,000 · $640,000 · $650,000 · $683,000 · $817,500 · $850,000 · $950,000 · $1,100,000 · $1,350,000 · $1,462,500 · $1,850,000. Reconciliation of the list in the window: 20 records = 15 qualified (Q) + 5 excluded (E) + 0 disqualified (D). One declared edge check: a qualified sale of October 21, 2024 (unit 805, $500,000) fell outside the window by one day and was not counted. No accessory sale (parking or storage) appeared on the list.

One row per topic. "Pending official confirmation" means no public record showing it was read. It does not mean the fact exists or that it does not exist.

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

• The recertification and state structural inspection (milestone) status: the reports filed and the closing letters, if they exist. The guide on 40-year building recertification explains each step.
• The SIRS with its reserve plan: no submission appears on the DBPR lists consulted; ask for the study and the current reserve level.
• Approved or pending special assessments: 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 on the extra condo charge explains it.
• Major work: what it includes, on what dates, under what permits, who pays for it and how (a charge to owners, a loan or reserves).
• If you plan to use an FHA loan: this building does not appear on HUD's list; ask your lender about single-unit approval. The guide on a condo with an FHA loan explains how to read the list.

What is NOT public (but you should verify):

• The unit's exact HOA dues: they vary by unit (they are split by square footage and ownership interest); no listing or public record sets them for your unit.
• The current special assessment amount: the amount and payment method 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: the association's internal documents, for owners only.
• The building's status on lenders' confidential lists: none of those lists is public; your lender confirms it.
