whatever happened to getting a statewide code that everyone follows and not having the AHJ doing whatever thay want to?
 
I have multiple licenses and it seems as though each inspector has things that aren'tin the code book they want you to do and there is some stuff in the code book they don't bother with, so I have to ask them what they want and try to make them happy.
 
There are certain counties that have been such a PITA that I will never work in again, one is Cape Coral when I went down to help out a friend after a hurricane, the building department was so hard to deal with, I told them I would never be back and I haven't been.
 
I wonder how many more thousands of pages this new code will be and how many hundreds of pages of glitch fixes there will be.
 
This happens everytime the government gets involved in a process.

RE: Proposed Code Modifications to the proposed 2010 Florida Building
Code.

This is to inform you that the proposed code amendment cycle to the 2010
update to the Florida Building Code will commence March 1, 2010 and will
close by midnight April 2, 2010.  The draft 2010 update to the Florida
Building Code (FBC) consists of the 2009 International Building Codes
(I-Codes) as the foundation and the Florida specific requirements
currently existing within the 2007 Florida Building Code and compiled in
documents title "Florida Supplements to the 2009 I-Codes".

Proposed code modifications are accepted electronically via the
www.floridabuilding.org website.  In order to stream-line the code
modification submittal process, a new and improved "Code Modification
Module" has been developed.  Under the new Code Modification Module,
there is no need to download a form.  All of the information necessary
to submit a modification may now be executed on-line at
www.floridabuilding.org through the code mdofication database.  To
familiarize yourself with the new module, we advise that you take the
time to review the list of "Questions & Answers" and the "Users Guide"
available at the following link:

http://www.floridabuiling.org/cm/cm_faq.aspx

In order to submit a code change to the 2010 FBC, you must use as a base
text for your code change, the 2009 I-Codes and the Florida supplements
to the 2009 I-Codes available at the link below:

http://www.dca.state.fl.us/fbc/thecode/Documents_to_be_Used.htm

After reviewing both the 2009 I-Codes and Florida Supplements to the
2009 I-Codes, cut the text of concern and revise as appropriate using
legislative format for drafting your proposed code change.

Please note: the Florida Energy Efficiency Conservation Code has been
completely revised using the 2009 International Energy Conservation Code
'as the foundation code'.  The new draft Energy Code is titled 'Energy
Conservation' and is available at the link below.  Please use the text
in this document as the basis for your modification.

http://www.dca.state.fl.us/fbc/thecode/Documents_to_be_Used.htm

Insturctions for submitting a proposed code modification is available
from the "Users Guide" stated above.

Should you have any questions, please call us at (850)487-1824.  Thank
you, very much, for your work in the development of the 2010 Florida
Building Code.
