On Monday March 21st, 2022 Sarasota County Building officials met with representatives of MACCA to discuss needing engineered roof stands on a changeout when the roof was not being replaced. It was agreed that as long as we reinstalled it in the same manner that we found it that it would not have to be brought up to new wind load requirements.
There was also discussion in regards to the installation of a mini split unit in a garage and it was explained that it is acceptable in Sarasota County with the standard Mechanical permit along with an electrical permit. No other load calcs or energy calcs needed.
