Enforcement of the Florida Building Code

Summary

The bill revises the Florida Building Code enforcement statute so counties and cities can only charge fees that cover the actual cost of permits, inspections and related services, and any surplus must be refunded, carried forward within limits, or spent on specified upgrades. It also prohibits local agencies from adding extra charges for licensing, insurance proof or other unrelated items. The changes become effective on July 1, 2026.
