## What do you think? Question:

![condo association condo unit rules for soundproofing 112514 resized 600](https://www.condoassociation.com/hs-fs/file-2327461872-jpg/images/condo_association_condo_unit_rules_for_soundproofing_112514-resized-600.jpg)

I own a first floor condo unit and plan to redo the floors with porcelain tile. My condo association says I’m required to soundproof the first floor. They are now checking the state laws to see what is stated for first floor units. My condo unit adjoins only one other on one wall, and do not believe soundproofing is necessary.

Has anyone had this same issue, and/or does anyone know what Florida says on this?
