Florida Zoning & Land Use Guide
Last updated: Verified:
Florida zoning and land-use guide with the statewide Florida Building Code, local comprehensive-planning framework, current ADU statute, and official state resources.
Key Facts
- Building Code: Florida Building Code 8th Edition (2023, based on 2021 IBC)
- State ADU Law: Varies by city
- ADU Details: Florida does not currently impose a statewide ADU mandate. Florida Statutes §163.31771 encourages ADUs and says a local government may adopt an ordinance allowing them in single-family residential areas. Local zoning therefore remains critical for ADU eligibility.
