Florida Law Has Changed — And It Benefits You
Florida’s updated chickee law clarifies that qualifying chickees constructed by the Miccosukee Tribe of Indians of Florida or the Seminole Tribe of Florida are exempt from the Florida Building Code, and may incorporate electrical or plumbing features when those specific features are permitted.
- Qualifying Seminole-built chickees can follow a faster path than a typical fully permitted structure.
- Electrical and plumbing features can be incorporated under separate required permits for those systems.
- Traditional chickees may also include a wooden deck and nonwood fasteners.
