Plant City follows federal EPA RRP Rule and HUD Lead Safe Housing Rule for pre-1978 homes. Contractors disturbing painted surfaces must be EPA Lead-Safe Certified. Disclosure required under 42 USC §4852d.
Federal law (TSCA Title IV and EPA RRP Rule 40 CFR Part 745) governs lead-based paint in pre-1978 housing. Contractors, property managers, and landlords performing renovation, repair, or painting that disturbs more than 6 sq ft interior or 20 sq ft exterior must be EPA Lead-Safe Certified firms using certified renovators. The federal Residential Lead-Based Paint Hazard Reduction Act (42 USC §4852d) requires sellers and landlords to provide the EPA pamphlet Protect Your Family from Lead in Your Home and disclose known lead hazards. Florida does not have a stricter state law; Plant City Building Division enforces federal requirements at permit review for older homes. Lead testing recommended before renovating any home built before 1978.
EPA RRP violation: federal fines up to $37,500 per violation per day. Disclosure failure: $10,000 federal civil penalty plus treble damages to buyer/tenant.
