You missed the part where I said Florida has a uniform state wide
building code with NO LOCAL AMENDMENTS.
The Electrical code is the NEC with one state wide amendment,
requiring bonding metal studs.
The local amendment thing is a big part of the problem. You say "my
county" but how many other jurisdictions exist inside that county and
what have they amended the code to say?
Contractors tip toe around a mine field of local amendments that may
change every time they cross a city or county border.
For Example,
Does Chesapeake Beach have a building department? Do they have their
own amendments to the code?
Chesapeake Beach has a mayor and council, but as far as I know depends
upon the county for permits, schools, et cetera, although I do remember
reading something about a zoning permit problem for some sort of
celebration years ago. Depends upon the county for police, too. My guess
is that none of the little towns or census places in this county have
any substantial governmental operations. What we do have are some really
interesting contemporary and historical residents.
