F.S. 633.202(18)(h)3 and (18)(h)4 exempt certain low-rise and wood-frame "apartments". Condominium buildings are normally classed as apartment occupancies, so the checker now applies both exemptions to condos, with a note to confirm with the fire marshal.

https://errcscheck.com/updates/#2026-10-25-checker-statutory-exemptions2026-10-25T00:00:00Z

Where a city's own documents are not verified, the checker used to answer "test needed" even for homes and small buildings the statute exempts. A statewide exemption now settles the answer, because F.S. 633.202(18)(i) bars stricter local rules.
