I get calls all the time about which Code edition we are using. The 2020 NEC is what has been adopted since 12.31.23. The confusion comes from the edition of the Florida Building Code that is in use at this time the 2023 Edition. At this time, the 2023 Florida Building Code adopts the 2020 NEC, which is confusing to many who deal with the Codes.
I got a couple of calls this week from contractors who have been cited for a violation from the 2023 NEC, which will not be in effect until 12.31.26, unless something pushes it up, but don’t look for that to happen. We are behind in the editions we use due to the Florida Building commission who regulates which Codes we use. So from now until December 31 of 2026 we will use the 2020 National Electrical Code.
2020 National Electrical Code now until 12.31.26.
Until next time be safe work safe.
