Recent code update: 2017 Florida Building Code, effective date
31 December 2017
For all customers permitting projects in the state of Florida, be advised that the new FBC will become effective on 31 December.
A comparison of the new and old code can be viewed here. The changes to chapter 15 are fairly minor.
- Underlayment requirements are now grouped into a single table (1507.1.1).
