Florida Building Code (FBC)

Florida Statute (FS) 235.017 requires the FCCJ District Board of Trustees to comply with building and life safety codes.


FS 235.26 further details this issue by requiring compliance with the Florida Building Code (FBC) and the Florida Fire Prevention Code effective March 1, 2002. FS 235.26 further allows community college boards the option to administer and enforce code provisions or utilize the services of local building departments (in our case, the City of Jacksonville).

At Florida Community College, FBC administration and enforcement will be internally administered. All facility major maintenance, renovation, remodeling, and new construction performed at the College shall comply with the FBC and all other applicable building codes. This policy requires that all College entities performing maintenance, renovation, remodeling, and new construction to comply with the following:

  • Submit construction documents (drawings and/or specifications) for plan review.
  • Request and obtain a building permit prior to construction start.
  • Ensure proper inspection during construction.
  • Certify completion prior to occupancy or re-occupancy.
