To Whom It May Concern:
The Building & Code Regulation Division has reviewed the request for a nonresidential farm exemption for
the above referenced property. We accept your claim that the property qualifies as land used for bona fide
agricultural purpose. Nonresidential farm buildings located on land used for bona fide agricultural purposes
are exempt from the Florida Building Code and do not require a building permit pursuant to Section 604.50,
Florida Statutes.
Any building claimed to be exempt is not eligible to receive a Certificate of Occupancy as defined in the
Florida Building Code. Additionally, since the building was not issued a building permit or certificate of
occupancy, the Florida Building Code will not apply to any potential future use of the building.
This exemption letter applies solely to the above referenced permit number or project. Future
improvements to the property related to building, electrical, plumbing or mechanical require a permit
application be submitted to the Permitting Section for review by the Building Official, or designee for the
issuance of either the applicable permits or a nonresidential farm permit exemption.
While this project qualifies for an exemption from the building code and is exempt from requiring an electrical
permit, the power company may require an inspection by a county inspector prior to energizing. Accordingly,
the county would require an electrical permit prior to an inspection, you would be responsible for any
applicable permit fees.
You may wish to keep a copy of this letter as evidence at the property that the building or buildings are
lawfully exempt from the requirement for a building permit. A power company may also ask to see this letter
before energizing any electrical service connections for this project.
Sincerely,
r
Gary Stepalavich
