Florida building code updates set for 2027

Florida Building Code window replacement building regulations impact-resistance standards permitting

JMI Windows & Doors is providing guidance to homeowners, builders, and contractors in Tampa Bay regarding upcoming changes to the Florida Building Code, which are scheduled to take effect on January 1, 2027.

The updates are expected to revise impact-area requirements in certain parts of the state. Because requirements for wind, hurricane, and flood resistance vary by location, the new code may change which products are permitted in specific areas.

Company owner Leo Alabovitz noted that homeowners should begin planning early to ensure products meet applicable code requirements and are installed correctly. He emphasized that permits not secured before the current code cycle ends may be required to comply with the new 2027 standards.
