Building Code
The Florida State Building Code Administration Section ensures that all building erections, additions, alterations, repairs, remodeling or demolitions and all installations of building systems meet Florida Building Code requirements including all electrical, plumbing, mechanical, gas, gas fuel, fire prevention, energy conservation, accessibility, stormwater and floodplain management requirements. This office supervises, directs and enforces the permitting, plans examination and inspection program in all FSU buildings. When the Building and Fire Code Administrator is satisfied that all code requirements have been met, he/she issues a certificate that allows completed buildings to be occupied.
