Smoke alarms are required in every Indiantown dwelling under the Florida Building Code (FBC R314) and Fla. Stat. 553.883. New construction requires hardwired, interconnected alarms with battery backup; existing homes must have working alarms in each sleeping area, outside sleeping areas, and on each level.
The Village of Indiantown Building Division enforces the Florida Building Code, which requires smoke alarms in all new and substantially renovated residential dwellings. Per FBC Residential Sec. R314, alarms must be installed in each sleeping room, outside each separate sleeping area in the immediate vicinity of bedrooms, and on each story including basements. Alarms in new construction must be hardwired and interconnected with battery backup. Per Fla. Stat. 553.883, alarms installed solely with batteries (in existing one- and two-family dwellings) must use 10-year sealed non-removable batteries. Landlords are required to provide working detectors at the start of each tenancy.
Building Code violations are enforced through the Building Division and Special Magistrate. Failure to maintain required smoke alarms can result in failed inspections, certificate-of-occupancy denial, and (for rental properties) habitability claims under Fla. Stat. 83.51.
