[As I'm sure you know-- this is not intended to be legal advice]

While FEMA is an important factor, what really counts is the local
jurisdiction's floodplain management (or flood prevention) ordinance.
These ordinances are required in all communities that participate in the
NFIP-- and they must be approved by FEMA but there are some small
differences from community to community.   Start with the local
ordinance first.  If you have any questions of interpretation, go to
FEMA's Substantial Damage-Substantial Improvement Desk Reference that
you can find on the internet.  Keep in mind, however, that it is not
FEMA that administers and enforces these regulations.  It is the
community's floodplain manager (most commonly, the building official or
director) who enforces these requirements and the local ordinance. The
FEMA materials are great to help you understand the provisions of the
local ordinance and ways to comply but it is the local, not the federal,
that you ultimately are required to comply with.

Group,

After Speaking with Bret Walley, I have located documents from FEMA,
regarding the 50% rule and Floodplain improvement. Here is the link:

No, they would need to obtain their own permits. Make sure the work is
not done under your permit. I assume that the zoning and codes allow
such cottage - if you know different, you may be participating in and
illegal activity. Consult with your attorney.

Thank you so much for your input on the insurance question I posted last
week. Now I have another question for you all:

We are talking to a customer about installing a small outbuilding in her
back yard for use as a guest cottage. We gave a quote to provide the
building and have told her she would be responsible for installing the
plumbing and electrical. My questions is, do they still pull their
permits under ours even though they are not technically our subs? Are we
still somehow responsible for them even though they have a contract with
her? We would not include plumbing or electrical in the construction
drawings submitted for our permit.

Subject: [Florida Code Talk] fire-damaged (in floodplain?)

There was a recent post about a fire damaged building in Sarasota County
"that was damaged by fire, the fire damage is well over the 50% of the
county assessed value. Sarasota County."  The inquirer was concerned
that "by doing over 50% of the value the county will make me bring the
entire home up to the current building code."  It wasn't stated, but the
implication is that this building is in the mapped special flood hazard
area and thus subject to the County's flood damage reduction
requirements because the building has been substantially damaged.  The
definition of substantial damage is  "damage of any origin sustained by
a structure whereb! y the cost of restoring the structure to its
before-damaged condition would equal or exceed 50 percent of the market
value of the structure before the damage occurred." 

NOTE that the definition specifies the cost of restoring the structure
to it's pre-damage condition, so it doesn't matter how much work is
actually done (or even if it is done over time) -- the substantial
damage determination is made on the estimate of fully restoring the
building.  Note also that it is the market value of the building
(although the county's assessed value can be used, it should be adjusted
by the assessor to reflect market value).  For the latest guidance, see
FEMA's recently published FEMA P-758:  Substantial Improvement /
Substantial Damage Desk Reference
http://www.fema.gov/library/viewRecord.do?id=4160
<http://www.fema.gov/library/viewRecord.do?id=4160> 

I believe this is my first post on CodeTalk -- for those who don't know
from BOAF postings, I'm a consultant to the Florida Division of
Emergency Management's flood management office (I'm also a consultant to
FEMA on the flood provisions of the International Code Series).  

And I never miss an opportunity to remind folks about FEMA's NFIP

Correct. FBC- Existing would determine the level of compliance required.

Prior to adoption of FBC, a number of jurisdictions used the "50% rule"
across the board.

Bret, I am not aware that if you are doing a job that exceeds 50% of the
value it has to brought up to the code - my experience is that is
applicable to FEMA regulations alone. Can you provide me with the code
references or requirements if I am wrong?

>From my understanding when doing a job that is 50% or more of the
assessed value of the building the whole house will have to be brought
up to current code, this is also a FEMA law and that includes raising
the elevation if the FFE is not high enough and the work can not be
staged to get around this.

So I think the roof will have to be brought up to current code as well
as all other items in the house that do not meet current code.

This may also affect setbacks as well.

On Mechanical contractors doing electrical work work it is my
understanding we are allowe dto change out breakers, disconnects, whips
wire from the disconnect to the unit, byt we can change out a breaker
for say a water heater, or other equipment that is not running the
mechanical equipment we are working and and we can not run new circuits
to equipment.

	Windows and doors installed must meet current code, wind design
pressure
	for location and possibly shutters or impact rating if in a
location
	over 120mph wind speed. Plywood per 2007 FBC can satisfy the
shutter
	requirement.

	Skylights must meet same code as windows and doors. Roof repairs
related
	to that change out should not be a problem. A replacement roof
must meet
	code per the 2007 Existing Building Code.

	I would review the Existing Building Code and determine if
Repair or
	what level of Alterations,1,2 or 3. Percentages are discussed in
that
	section.

	You may also want to contact Zoning to discuss percentages and
value.

	I agree with everything Bob says. One other point you were
asking Brian is how different juristictions handle this. In my
experiance it is pretty much ignored. I'm an A/C contractor and have
never had a building official question who installed the new disconnect
or circuit breaker. In one case I was working under a GC and performed a
package unit change-out. The GC ran the power himself and told the
building inspector so. The inspector never batted an eye. Many A/C
contractors do this work themselves to stay competative. $15.00 for a
breaker or pay an electrician to come change it. The customer pays more
or the contractor following the rules looses the job. I am not condoning
these violations, just giving a little insite. The next best thing to a
good electrician on the job site is a good A/C tech.

	Sarasota is mostly in the wind borne debris area. I would say
yes.

repairs related

that section. 
	You may also want to contact  Zoning to discuss percentages and

	Subject: [Florida  Code Talk] Code Talk

	I am estimating a job that was damaged by fire, the fire  damage
is well 
	over the 50% of the county assessed value. Sarasota  County 
	- All of the windows and doors have been damaged and need  to be
replaced. 
	Do they need to be replaced to the current code.   
	-The skylights are all damaged and need to be replaced.
Assuming that they 
	need to be impact units. When replacing them it will  involve  
	Some work to be done on the roof. The roof is a  flat roof and
holding 
	water. If I do any repairs to the roof will I need to  bring
that to code. 
	-I am concerned that by doing over 50% of the value the  county
will make 
	me bring the entire home up to the current building code. I
need to  
	Know going into the process. 
	I look forward to getting your input
