I would want to see "the code" that says this.
I think a lot of people are confusing the hack job of pointing the end of
the ducting into a vented soffit, with the proper installation which is to
run the duct out *through* the soffit terminating with a grill or louvered
vent cap.

That is not done here and I believe it is against code. The moisture in
the winter builds up ice and causes problems in the soffit and with any
wood in there.

I don't know where venting a bathroom fan out the soffit is a code
violation? Here in NJ most homes are done that way and we are about as
regulated as it gets. I don't see anything wrong with doing a soffit
vent.
