Question
Is it the intent of section 102.2 (h) to ONLY define a "chickee" as a type of building, structure or facility and state it's execption from the Florida Building code? Or is it the intent of this area to describe the items for which are not allowed in the exept "chickee" as a building, structure or facility, relating to electric, plumbing, walls or floor?
Answer Published 07/13/2012 at 9:12 AM
The term Chickee as used in 102.2 (h) is describing a
structure constructed by either the Seminole or Miccosukee
Indians and is exempt from the Florida Building Code. The
term is not used elsewhere in the Florida Building Code . A
structure constructed under this exemption cannot
incorporate any electric, plumbing or other non-wood
items.

Commentary
The definition of a chickee speaks for itself; if it has
non-natural items it is not a chickee.
