Steel & concrete modular homes in Florida
Modular homes are built to state and local building codes and set on a permanent foundation. Here is what applies in Florida.
Florida program
- Administering agency
- Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation (DBPR), Building Codes and Standards
- Program / authority
- Chapter 553, Part I, Fla. Stat. (Manufactured Buildings, §§553.35-553.42)
- Code basis
- Florida Building Code (Fla. Stat. §553.355); edition not verified
- Inspection & seal
- Third-party inspection agencies inspect in the factory and DBPR insignia is issued to them; units must bear the insignia and a manufacturer's data plate to be installed.
- Good to know
- Insignia-bearing buildings need no local plan review or additional insignia, but on-site erection and site work remain subject to local permits and inspection.
