Are You Required To Test Your Facility For Radon?

Some 24 hour care facilities, state licensed day care centers and schools k-12 are required to test for radon according to Florida Statute 404.056. Previously the radon testing was required statewide. Currently, only facilities in certain counties are required to test for radon.

There are two different lists depending on the construction of the building. Buildings built as a single family home or duplex and that still meet that building code standard have one county list. All other types of buildings have another county list. Look for your county in the list below or check the linked maps. If your facility is not in one of the counties listed below, your facility is currently exempt from mandatory radon testing.
