If they told you that, they are not correct.

The 2004 Florida Building Code requires that, "where used, all bath and certain kitchen exhaust fans vent to the outside—not just into an attic or crawl space."

This is covered in Chapter 4 of the Florida Building Code. The code has been revised a few times since 2004, but this requirement has not changed.

Not impossible, but not as effortless as some would suggest. We live in a CYV and MOST, if not ALL bath and laundry exhausts are vented to the soffits.

When was it built? I guessing newer rather than older?

Plenty of housing around here built before 2004.
