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 Southern Seas, and check its license with the DBPR licensee search.

Good to know
Southern Seas: common questions
Answered from the state register, and clear about what it doesn't cover.
What is the name of the Southern Seas condo association?
Florida's Division of Florida Condominiums, Timeshares and Mobile Homes registers Southern Seas Condominium Association, Inc. (DBPR managing-entity no. MA00002513) as the managing entity for Southern Seas, DBPR project no. PR1V009172. The state's spelling is "SOUTHERN SEAS CONDO ASSOC., INC.".
How many units does Southern Seas have?
DBPR records 27 units for Southern Seas at 4520 El Mar Dr, Lauderdale-by-the-Sea. That makes it the 12th-largest of the 17 registered condominiums with 20 or more units in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea.
When was Southern Seas established as a condominium?
Its condominium declaration was recorded on May 22, 1984, according to DBPR. About 53% of Lauderdale-by-the-Sea'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 Southern Seas association?
Florida's Division of Corporations (Sunbiz) records SOUTHERN SEAS CONDOMINIUM ASSOCIATION, INC. (document no. N03320) as active, file checked October 30, 2026. Its principal address of record is SOUTHERN SEAS CONDOMINIUM ASSOCIATION, INC, 4520 EL MAR DRIVE, LAUDERDALE-BY-THE SEA, FL 33308-3608, and its mailing address is 3757 Tamiami Trail N, Naples, FL 34103. The registered agent, the association's legal contact for official notices, is Florida 360 LLC (address of record 3757 Tamiami Trail N, Naples, FL 34103). 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 Southern Seas. 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 Southern Seas 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 Southern Seas 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 Southern Seas has completed either. Ask the association for its latest milestone inspection report, its SIRS and its reserve funding schedule.
