Question

Is it the intent of this Code, that all jurisdictions in Florida are authorized to set a "value threshold" for permit requirements for single family home improvements?

Answer Published 08/01/2015 at 2:55 PM

No, Section 102.2.5 leaves the permitting administration to

each enforcement district. As stated in 102.2.5 #1. At its

own option, each enforcement district or local enforcement

agency may adopt rules granting to the owner of a

single-family residence one or more exceptions from the

Florida Building Code.
