Zoning & Regulation Guide: Navigating Modular Housing in Florida

Introduction

Florida may be fertile ground for modular growth, but developers and investors must navigate a patchwork of zoning codes and regulatory requirements. Knowing the rules can mean the difference between stalled projects and rapid approvals.

Key Florida Regulations

• Florida Building Code (FBC): Modular units must comply with state-level standards.

• HUD Code vs FBC: Manufactured housing follows HUD rules, while modular must meet local codes.

• County Variations: Miami-Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach each have unique modular guidelines.
