The Florida Building Code – Existing Building, establishes the statewide minimum requirements for the repair, alteration, change of occupancy, addition, and relocation of existing structures. Published by the International Code Council (ICC), this fully integrated volume updates the International Existing Building Code (IEBC) with Florida amendments that prioritize public safety, structural integrity, and hazard mitigation, especially in high-wind and flood-prone areas. From minor repairs to major renovations, it guides you through scope, administration, compliance methods, and mandatory upgrade triggers to ensure your project meets current accessibility, fire, seismic, and energy standards.
