Florida preparing to adjust to new building elevation requirements

Changes to the Florida Building Code and new floodplain maps will mean buildings in the state will have to be built at higher elevations.

Nonresidential buildings will have to be built at 9.5 feet, two feet higher than current requirements. Houses will have to be built at 8.5 feet, a foot higher than what is currently required.
