It is an initiative of the Board of Rules and Appeals as a public service to share with the community its South Florida Building Code Library, which consists of volumes from its adoption by Broward County since its creation by charter in 1972. There is also a historical collection of previous versions of the South Florida Building Code, starting with a 1957 edition, which was adopted by some cities but not enforced county-wide at the time. All these books are in Adobe PDF format and available for free download.

If you have any questions or need to make an appointment to review an original volume from our library please contact Ruth Boselli or call 954-765-4500.
