WHEN DO I NEED A PERMIT?

Any owner or authorized agent who intends to construct, enlarge, alter, repair, move, demolish, or change the occupancy of a building or structure needs to apply for a building Permit. Permits are also needed with installations, removal, or repair to gas, mechanical or plumbing systems. For more information on this refer to Section 105 of the Florida Building Code. Emergency repairs: Emergency repairs can be completed prior to the permit approval; however, a building permit is required to be submitted to the Building Department on the next business day.
