BUILDING PERMITS 

The Town contracts with Broward County to provide residents and contractors with Building Department services. A Broward County staffer handles permit applications in the Town from 9 AM to 4:30 PM Monday through Friday in the Town Hall Annex (the trailer just north of Jarvis Hall) on N. Ocean Drive.  

If you plan to alter, remodel, relocate or install any structural, electrical, plumbing or mechanical portion of your home, you will need to obtain a Building Permit.

Permits are also needed for replacing or installing hot water heaters, air conditioning systems, pavers, pool decks, etc.  

Building permits are also generally required if you replace something in your home, regardless of the cost. For example, if you install a new fence in your yard, a permit is needed, even if the cost is less than $1,500.  

If you are not sure if you need a Building Permit, please call 954-492-1830.
