9x9 Concrete Slab is any approval needed
Having a 9'x 9' concrete slab poured in front of my house as a porch. Way far away from the street. Will I need any Villages or county approval before I have it poured.

Yes, Architectural. Approval is required for all exterior modifications unless otherwise noted.

(The general answer is yes, you will need approval for ANY changes outside your home)

You may also need a building permit, and live water lines are NOT allowed under concrete slabs (Sumter County), we had to have 3 or 4 irrigation lines moved when we installed the birdcage.

I'd love to know how your home was built, without "live water lines" under your slab ... and how your irrigation system was installed, without crossing a driveway or walkway.

Before we had a concrete slab poured (smaller than 9'x9') in front of our house, we got ARC approval.

I can only tell you about the permit requirements, and in our case, I think the irrigation line go all the way around the house. I realize the house plumbing is under the house, I am just stating what I found for requirements of NEW concrete pads. A call to the building department may answer your concerns and questions.

The distribution line for the front yard went around the back of the house rather than under the driveway as you stated. . |

Arguably, a building inspector *could* consider an irrigation line as part of the home plumbing and require a plumber to pull a permit and sign off on the portion that's under the house. If it's a "patio" an not an enclosed room, it usually wouldn't be considered part of the house (no roof). The proper way to run irrigation under a slab of any type, is typically to run conduit and run the irrigation line through it. Without enclosing it in a length of conduit, I could see them requiring a relieving arch.

Florida is on the International Building Code, like most everyone else. Like everyone else, they have a few minor amendments, but not much of significance.

Referenced Code IBC: Florida Building Code 2020 Chapter 14 on Irrigation is Blank
Quote:
Also, as Altavia mentioned, the irrigation lines do not go under the driveway at my house also. The code you referenced is blank as to any code for irrigation Chapter 14. So in my estimation, Sumter County can specify what they believe is a correct standard. I have no experience with other counties. If you add a patio or birdcage etc., I hope you check with your local building officials. |

Why do people ask these type of questions on social media? If you want to know about building codes, home/landscape modifications, laws & ordinances, etc. then you need a valid conclusive answer from the appropriate agency; not hearsay from Tom, Dick, & Harry on the Internet.
