Safety & Code Compliance

Enforces all statutes and municipal ordinances that deal with code related violations.

Our primary mission is to provide for the public safety, health, and general welfare in the built environment through education and enforcement of the building codes, local ordinances, and state laws. Life safety is our main goal and objective.

The Building & Permitting Services Department is responsible for inspecting new and active construction-related issues, construction parking, additions, and remodeling structures in accordance with the Florida building codes, as well as issues pertaining to business licenses (zoning should be checked, the applicant must have appropriate parking for business, and change out of signs must be approved/permitted). You may access all Florida Building Code Editions at floridabuilding.org or purchase the codes at boaf.net or iccsafe.org.
