GLOSSARY

Multifamily

Multifamily describes a building that holds more than one dwelling unit, whether the units are stacked, side by side or arranged around a court. In the records we hold the term covers the building and the shared systems that serve its units.

About Multifamily

Multifamily drawings show the unit mix, the shared stairs, corridors and elevators, the separation between units, and the building's service systems. Scope turns on the number of units and on whether the work touches shared elements, since those affect every occupant. Multifamily records commonly appear with apartment, condominium and townhouse headings.

FLORIDA PERMIT DATA

In the records

"multifamily" appears in 3,099 matching permits in the Florida records we analyzed.

A permit can match more than one term, so these counts are not additive and adding two of them together overstates the total.
