FAQ
Florida Statute 489.103 requires building permits to be issued to licensed contractors. As an owner of your property, you may act as your own contractor through a specific exemption to contracting law. Owner's applying for their own permit must fill out an Owner/Builder Disclosure Statement as required by Florida law.
You need a Palm Beach County building permit if you plan to build, alter, renovate, demolish, or add to an existing building.
The Notice of Commencement shall be recorded in the office of the Clerk where the real property is located. A certified copy of the Notice of Commencement must be posted on the property. The property owner must sign the Notice of Commencement and no one else may be permitted to sign in his or her stead.
Building permits would not be required for items that are being repaired such as a broken fence rail, replacement of appliances (other than water heaters), painting your residence, or for the replacement or addition of any type of non-structural flooring.
How do I obtain a CO/CC? Once your final inspection has been approved and the applicable completion holds satisfied, you may apply, print or view certificates online at Certificate of Occupancy/Completion. Check applicable inspections and completion holds using your Permit Card and/or the Building permit records menu.
A Certificate of Occupancy (CO) is issued for new construction or change of use (i.e. from a school to a restaurant), while a Certificate of Completion (CC) is needed for remodels, renovations and shell buildings.
How to Obtain a CO: You must file a Request for Certificate of Occupancy with Palm Beach County officials, who are on a deadline to respond. They must issue the CO within 10 days for most properties or 2 days for residential buildings. If authorities do not forward the CO, they must inform you of specific deficiencies.
An attorney who represents the purchaser should make sure that the contract states that the property will be conveyed without violations and that a valid certificate of occupancy is a condition to closing. Occupying premises without at least a temporary certificate of occupancy is unlawful.
Section 105 of the Florida Building Code requires permits for most construction-related work. Various improvements of real property may not require a building permit. The work exempted must be performed in ance with minimum code standards.
