How to convert a Den into a Bedroom - Florida

[Milton Alvira]

Do I need to obtain a permit to consider a Den as a Bedroom? 

Thank you, 

[David Niles]

Probably not if your not doing any construction changes. 

In Florida 

“Bedroom” means a room that can be used for sleeping and that:

For site-built dwellings, has a minimum of 70 square feet of conditioned space;

Has a closet and a door or an entrance where a door could be reasonably installed; and

Has an emergency means of escape and rescue opening to the outside in accordance with the Florida Building Code.

A room may not be considered a bedroom if it is used to access another room except a bathroom or closet.
