Homeowner Builder Permits

Per Florida Statute 489.103(7)(b), all homeowner builder permits must be applied for in person. Homeowners must personally appear and sign the building permit application and satisfy local agency requirements. In addition, owners acting as their own contractor when building or improving must prove the occupancy is for their use only and not offered for sale or lease.

An application for a permit or any proposed work shall be deemed to have been abandoned 180 days after the date of filing unless such application has been pursued in good faith or a permit has been issued; except that the building official is authorized to grant one or more extensions of time for additional periods not exceeding 90 days each. The extension shall be required in writing and a justifiable cause demonstrated.

To request a permit extension:

• Submit the Permit Extension Application(PDF, 220KB) before the expiration of your permit, a $25 fee will be applied.

• Apply for a Demolition Permit to remove all construction in connection with your expired permit from the building site.
• Resubmit documents for a new permit that complies with all codes, amendments, ordinances and regulations in effect from the time the permit expired until a new permit was issued and pay all appropriate fees.
