The Florida Building Code was authorized by the 1998 Florida Legislature to be the sole document incorporating all building standards adopted by all enforcement agencies and state agencies that license different types of facilities. It serves as an integrated approach to improving the safety and efficacy of the built environment in Florida. Once a product, method or system has received approval, it can be used statewide as appropriate without further evaluation.
