Facility Testing Requirements

Radon and Indoor Air Program

Florida Statute 404.056 requires testing of some 24 hour care facilities, state licensed day care centers and schools k-12.  Previously 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.  

The following lists provide the names of counties where radon testing is required, depending on the type of construction or building type.  Look for your county in the lists below or check this map.  If your facility is not in one of the counties listed below, your facility is currently exempt from mandatory radon testing.Map showing which buildings require radon testing in which counties in Florida. An accessible list is below.
