A permit is required to construct, enlarge, alter, repair, move, remove or demolish any building, structure or part thereof. All new construction work requires a building permit. All existing construction work if altered, requires a building permit. The following repairs/replacement projects ALWAYS require a building permit: - Water heater change out - A/C change out - Heat pump/heater recovery change out - Tub/shower pan change out - Electrical service change out/repair - Window/door replacement - All repairs due to a fire

When a permit is submitted to the Building Department, it is reviewed to see that it meets established minimum criteria. The review and approval process allows problems to be identified and corrected before any non-complying work occurs. During the process of submitting a permit, a contractor's licensing and insurance are verified. Having a permit allows a person knowledgeable in construction the opportunity to inspect and confirm that minimum code prescribed construction requirements are met. The transfer of property could be delayed when non-permitted work is discovered. Work completed without permits and/or inspections is deemed to be unsafe. Work that is done without a permit is subject to triple permit fees and may have to be partially or completely demolished so that the un-permitted work can be inspected.

Yes, if you are competent to perform the work and if you meet the owner/builder exemption. You will be required to read, understand and certify compliance through the completion of the Owner/Builder Affidavit. Our experience is that most Owner/Builders do not comply with these requirements on large or complex jobs but may on small miscellaneous permits. (Patio slabs/decks, fences, walkways, etc.). WARNING: If you are allowed the exemption, you take all the responsibilities and liabilities as a contractor.

The status of a pending permit application can be found by calling (727) 586-7488 or try our Automatic Inspection Request Line (AIRS) at (727) 587-6711 or (727) 587-6712 and follow the prompts.

Yes, you can. Click the link below to download a Building Permit application form.

No. All new work requires a permit, but there are exceptions that allow for work to be performed by homeowners.

No, not usually. In an emergency such as air-conditioning replacement with the approval of the Building Official, work up to the first required inspection will be allowed.

Permits expire and become null and void if work is not started and an inspection requested within 180 days from the issuance date of the permit. After such work has commenced, the permit will expire when work is suspended or abandoned for a period of 90 days. Lack of an approved inspection within 90 days will validate the job has been suspended or abandoned.
