Unlike what you find in the IRC, there are added section in the FBC Residential book. I thought this would be interesting for those of you that are not in a hurricane zone, more specifically a wind-borne debris region. Take a look:
March 1, 2002 is when the Florida Building Code took effect so any homes built in previous codes would be affected by this section if they are located in a wind-borne debris region. In a perfect world, any home in one of these regions built under the FBC would be exempt.
You can look at this code for free in more detail if you just go here:
