Official notices and legal papers go to the registered agent, the association's legal contact on file with the state.
Day-to-day requests (condo questionnaires, estoppel certificates, insurance certificates, move-ins, rental approval) go to the management company, which may be a different firm from the agent. Ask the front desk, the board or the unit owner which company manages Essex Tower, and check its license with the DBPR licensee search.

Good to know
Essex Tower: common questions
Answered from the state register, and clear about what it doesn't cover.
What is the name of the Essex Tower condo association?
Florida's Division of Florida Condominiums, Timeshares and Mobile Homes registers Essex Tower Condominium Association, Inc. (DBPR managing-entity no. MA00009720) as the managing entity for Essex Tower, DBPR project no. PR1V010200. The state's spelling is "ESSEX TOWER CONDO ASSN INC".
How many units does Essex Tower have?
DBPR records 170 units for Essex Tower at 340 Sunset Dr, Fort Lauderdale. That makes it the 66th-largest of the 423 registered condominiums with 20 or more units in Fort Lauderdale.
When was Essex Tower established as a condominium?
Its condominium declaration was recorded on September 26, 1978, according to DBPR. About 43% of Fort Lauderdale's registered condominiums with 20+ units were recorded in an earlier year. A recorded date marks when the building became a condominium, which is not necessarily when it was built.
How do I contact the Essex Tower association?
Florida's Division of Corporations (Sunbiz) records ESSEX TOWER CONDOMINIUM ASSOCIATION, INC. (document no. 744313) as active, file checked October 30, 2026. Its principal address of record is 340 SUNSET DRIVE, FORT LAUDERDALE, FL 33301, and its mailing address is Essex Tower Condominium Association, 340 Sunset Drive, Fort Lauderdale, FL 33301. The registered agent, the association's legal contact for official notices, is Tripp Scott, P.A. (address of record 110 Southeast 6th Street, Fort Lauderdale, FL 33301). Day-to-day requests such as condo questionnaires, estoppel certificates and insurance certificates go to the management company, which may be a different firm; ask the front desk, the board or the unit owner which company manages Essex Tower. Miami Condo HQ is an independent research site, not the association, so we can't pass requests on to it.
I'm a lender or title company. Who completes the condo questionnaire and provides the insurance certificate?
The association or its management company — not Miami Condo HQ. We are an independent research website with no access to Essex Tower Condominium Association, Inc.'s records, so we can't complete condo questionnaires, issue estoppel certificates or supply master insurance policies. Ask the unit owner or the building for the current property manager, or look up the association's registered agent and principal address in Florida's Division of Corporations (Sunbiz).
Does Essex Tower need a milestone inspection or a structural integrity reserve study?
Florida's 2022 condominium safety law (SB 4-D, amended since) requires milestone inspections and structural integrity reserve studies for many condominium buildings, depending on height, age and distance from the coast. DBPR's register does not say whether Essex Tower has completed either. Ask the association for its latest milestone inspection report, its SIRS and its reserve funding schedule.
