Frequently Asked Questions
When is a permit required for construction?
The Florida Building Code requires a Building Permit to construct, enlarge, alter, repair, move, demolish, or change the occupancy of a building or structure, or to erect, install, enlarge, alter, repair, remove, convert or replace any impact resistant coverings, electrical, gas, mechanical or plumbing system, the installation of which is regulated by The Florida Building Code, latest edition. Always call prior to commencement of any construction project to verify whether a permit is required.
How much will my permit cost?
The cost of a permit varies depending on the permit type. If you have the square footage and valuation of the project, an estimate can be obtained from one of the Building Clerks. The fee schedule can also be viewed on our webpage.
What happens if I choose not to obtain the required permits?
If the Building Official, Inspector, or Code Enforcement Officer finds you working without a permit, your work will be stopped immediately. A Stop Work Order will be posted and the Code Enforcement Officer will issue you a notice for working without permits and you will be required to pay the cost of the permit fee PLUS a fine. Additionally, structural work may require a third party engineering analysis and if areas of work are concealed, materials may be required to be removed in order to reveal that work. If you choose to ignore the notice of the Code Enforcement Officer, you will receive a citation and be brought before the Code Enforcement Board, where you may be fined and be required to remove the unpermitted work.
Do I need a contractor?
If you own a building or structure, and it is not for sale or lease, 489.103(7), Florida Statutes, allows you to act as your own contractor. Owners, acting as their own contractor are required to personally appear and sign the permit application along with the Owner-Builder Affidavit 489.103(7), Florida Statutes.
If I use a contractor, what guidelines should I use to choose one?
Ask for and check references, and always ask to see their state license. Licenses can be verified on the Department of Business and Professional Regulation website. If a contractor asks you to obtain the permit, beware. This is a sign that the contractor may not be licensed, which puts the homeowner at risk.
