Seminole County, FL Building Safety: Carbon Monoxide Detectors (2026)

5 sets the minimum plan review criteria the Seminole County building official applies before approving any building permit application. For a floor plan, site plan and foundation plan to pass review at all, the examination must cover fenestration, envelope penetrations, flashing and rough opening dimensions plus, for one- and two-family residential building, a specific checklist: site requirements, setback and separation distances, septic tank location, fire-resistant construction where required, and item 6, smoke and/or carbon monoxide alarm and detector locations. The same residential checklist requires the plans to show flood hazard areas, flood zones, design flood elevations, lowest floor elevations and flood damage-resistant materials, and separately requires egress window size, location and stairs construction.

1 conditions the building official's written or stamped approval, marked Reviewed for Code Compliance, on the documents satisfying this section. 1 can revoke a permit already issued in error or based on incomplete information, forcing the applicant to resubmit plans identifying every required smoke and carbon monoxide detector location before construction can proceed.
