SERVICES AND MISSION: The Building Division receives building permit applications for all structures ranging from commercial buildings to residential homes and fences. It is the Building Divisions responsibility to review construction plans to assure compliance with Florida Building Code requirements and local regulations.

Our primary goal is to preserve our City’s neighborhoods and property values by maintaining high standards of competence and service. Staff is available to assist and guide homeowners and contractors through the permitting and inspection processes for all new construction, remodeling or additions to existing structures.

INSPECTIONS: Permit construction inspections are conducted to make sure construction is in accordance with approved plans and all applicable construction codes.



A building permit protects the public by ensuring standard methods and materials are used in construction, that qualified people perform the work, and that the work is verified through inspections at various stages through completion.
