What Does a CPTED Assessment
Cost in Florida?
Pricing for a CPTED assessment depends on property size, location, and scope. Here is what you should expect to pay, what affects the cost, and what a compliant assessment under Florida Statute 768.0706 must include.
What Factors Affect CPTED Assessment Pricing
There is no single fixed price for a CPTED assessment. Costs vary based on several factors specific to your property. Understanding these factors helps you evaluate quotes accurately and avoid underbid assessments that create liability risk.
01
Property Size and Unit Count
Larger properties with more units, parking areas, and common spaces require more time to assess thoroughly. A 20-unit apartment complex and a 300-unit community are fundamentally different in scope. The number of buildings on a property, the size of the parking areas, and the number of entry and exit points all affect the time required to conduct a thorough assessment and produce compliant documentation.
02
Geographic Location and Travel
Properties across Florida - from South Florida to the Panhandle - may reflect differences in local crime data, environmental conditions, and site access requirements. Tricorn conducts CPTED assessments and multifamily security assessments statewide and nationally. Out-of-state properties are quoted individually based on location and scope.
03
Reassessment vs Initial Assessment
Florida Statute 768.0706 requires documented CPTED assessments to be reviewed every three years. An initial assessment for a property that has never been evaluated requires more time than a reassessment of a previously documented property. Properties approaching their 3-year reassessment window should schedule early to avoid a lapse in their presumption against liability status.

Common Questions About Cost
Florida HB 837 (Florida Statute 768.0706) requires owners of multifamily residential properties with five or more units to have a documented CPTED assessment conducted by a licensed FCP or law enforcement agency to receive the presumption against liability for third-party crimes. Without it, you cannot claim this statutory protection in court.
Florida Statute 768.0706 requires documented CPTED assessments to be reviewed every three years. Properties that miss the 3-year reassessment window lose their compliance status and the presumption against liability that comes with it. Tricorn offers reassessment pricing for prior clients.
Not necessarily. An assessment can be technically compliant but still challenged in court if the assessor's credentials, methodology, or documentation are questioned. The statute requires the assessment to be conducted by a certified FCP. If the assessor or process is discredited, you lose the presumption against liability regardless of cost paid.
HB 837 defines a minimum set of security measures required for statutory compliance (cameras, lighting, deadbolts, etc.). A full CPTED assessment goes beyond those minimums to evaluate the property against all four CPTED principles: natural surveillance, natural access control, territorial reinforcement, and maintenance. Meeting the HB 837 minimum does not fully protect you from security negligence litigation; a full assessment provides stronger documentation.
Yes. Property management companies and asset managers with multiple properties can request portfolio pricing. Contact Tricorn to discuss volume rates for three or more properties.
Yes. Tricorn provides crime deterrence and safety training at no additional charge to clients for whom a property assessment has been completed. HB 837 requires property owners to provide crime deterrence training to current employees and to all new employees within 60 days of hire. This training requirement is included as part of Tricorn's assessment service.
The cost of achieving HB 837 compliance depends primarily on the cost of the CPTED assessment itself plus any physical security improvements your property requires to meet the statute's minimum requirements. The assessment documents your compliance status - it does not perform the improvements. If your property already meets the security measures outlined in Florida Statute 768.0706 (2), such as functioning camera systems, adequate lighting, and proper door hardware, the assessment cost is your primary expense. Properties that need upgrades will have additional costs depending on what improvements are required. Contact Tricorn for a project estimate based on your property.
