The Florida Building Code – Accessibility Edition is the mandatory statewide standard ensuring that new and altered public and commercial facilities are usable by individuals with disabilities. Published by International Code Council (ICC) & DBPR, this volume adopts ANSI A117.1 technical provisions with Florida amendments that go beyond the federal ADA, requiring vertical accessibility to all levels, site arrival connectivity, and comprehensive scoping for elements like routes, entrances, restrooms, parking, signage, and recreation areas. With clear administrative rules, scoping tables, and detailed scoping chapters for over 40 facility types, it’s the essential resource for architects, builders, and code officials to guarantee compliance and equitable access across Florida.
