Florida Building Code 2023 (book update)

New Florida Building Code 2023

The new 8th Edition Florida Building Code will be effective in our courses in March

An updated edition of the Florida Building Code or FBC is adopted triennially by the Florida Building Commission. The code may also be amended between updates in order to incorporate the Florida Building Commission’s interpretations into the code, address conflicts, and update standards, among other statutorily specified reasons. Minimum requirements for permitting, plans review, and inspections are established by the code, and local jurisdictions may adopt additional administrative requirements that are more stringent. The City of Palm Bay does adopt a modified Chapter 1 of the FBC, Building, for administrative purposes.
