Does electrical code (Leon County, FL) allow light switch boxes to be mounted over one another?
I want to move a light switch. Ideally the new location would be directly behind another switch in the adjacent room but of course that can't be done because the wall is not thick enough.
Instead, could I put the switch box above the light switch box facing the adjacent room?
You can have the boxes in close contact al long as it is not a fire wall.
The cables can touch the other boxes there is nothing wrong with that.
If a firewall 24” or separation by a stud bay to face opposite rooms where I see this most often is garage/laundry and some diy work on the inside or garage side need to be in separate stud bays.
If not a fire wall there is no box separation required also there is not a specific height for the switches so one room can be higher than another (I get asked this question often).
