In consultation with our partners at the Office of State Fire Marshal, DCDEE has learned the following: •This change applies to new family child care homes and any existing family child care home that makes a change to their license (increase capacity, change of location, etc.). •This change in statute is not retroactive and will sunset once new rules are adopted by the Residential and Building Code Councils. •Local ordinances and HOA requirements are still applicable, however there are no R4 occupancy requirements for any of the capacity options. To proceed with an increase in capacity, ensure there are no local ordinances or HOA covenants that prohibit the increase. Then once you have met the following five requirements*, submit a request for an increase in capacity in writing to your licensing consultant. They will schedule a visit and once compliance is verified, they will issue a new permit. *FCCH operators currently meet the requirements outlined in items one and three, in accordance with child care rules .1701(1) and .1714.
