Permit Expediters in Hillsboro Beach, FL
The Town of Hillsboro Beach Building Department at 1210 Hillsboro Mile is powered by Calvin, Giordano and Associates (CGA) and uses the Community Core Permitting System for permit applications, fee payments, inspection scheduling, and plan review tracking. The department is open to the public Monday through Friday from 7:30 AM to 4:00 PM, with a drop box available for quick pick-ups between 7:30 AM and 3:30 PM. All permit applications are processed in the order received. Hillsboro Beach requires three sets of energy calculations — more than any other Broward County municipality. Broward County EPD approval must be obtained before any Building Department submittal. A recorded NOC with two certified copies is required before Building Department submittal for projects valued over $2,500, or $7,500 for A/C replacement. New window and door installations must comply with the Town's Sea Turtle protection requirements to protect nesting season lighting conditions. If repair costs exceed 50% of the market value of a damaged building, the entire structure must comply with all flood plain requirements and current zoning and building standards.
At Concord Crest Real Estate, we manage your complete Hillsboro Beach building permit application through the Community Core portal, coordinate all Broward County agency approvals, and track every review cycle until your permit is issued.

- Agency coordination: We obtain Broward County EPD approval before Building Department submittal. For elevator projects, we submit plans-only to Broward County Elevator allowing one week review time.
- Document collection: We prepare two signed and sealed plan sets, three sets of energy calculations, structural calculations, special inspection forms, Owner Agent Letter with notarized signatures, and recorded NOC with two certified copies for applicable projects.
- Community Core submission: We submit your complete Hillsboro Beach building permit application through the Community Core portal, ensuring all documents are correctly prepared and uploaded before submission.
- Follow-up: We track every review cycle, respond to correction comments, and prepare revision packages with architect narrative and clouds and deltas until approval.
- Delivery: Once your permit is issued, we coordinate inspection scheduling through Community Core and keep your project on track to Certificate of Occupancy.
Why Choose Us
Hillsboro Beach is the only Broward County municipality that requires three sets of energy calculations. It is also one of the few towns with an active Sea Turtle protection requirement that directly affects window and door permit specifications. Both requirements catch applicants off guard on every first submission.
We know:
- That Hillsboro Beach requires three signed and sealed sets of energy calculations while every other Broward County city requires two, and submitting only two sets causes rejection before plan review begins
- That all new window and door installations must comply with the Town of Hillsboro Beach Window and Door requirements to protect Sea Turtle nesting season lighting conditions, and non-compliant window or door installations are not approved regardless of product approval credentials
- That Broward County EPD approval must be obtained before any Building Department submittal begins, and we secure the EPD security code and application number as the first step in every commercial and new construction project
- That the recorded NOC threshold is $2,500 for general projects and $7,500 for A/C replacement, with two certified copies required before Building Department submittal
- That if repair costs exceed 50% of the fair market value of a damaged building, the entire structure must comply with all flood plain requirements and current zoning and building standards — a threshold we assess at the start of every repair or renovation project
- That the building department recommends a pre-construction meeting for large or complex projects to cover inspection scheduling, town ordinances, working hours, traffic management, and site security, and we coordinate these meetings on behalf of every qualifying project
- That Notice of Acceptance documents for windows, doors, louvers, and shutters must be stamped by the architect of record, but NOA stamping is not required on retrofit work — we identify which category applies to every window and door project
- That digital submittal of permits is currently available only for water heater replacements, A/C replacements, and electrical panel or service changes, and all other permit types must still be submitted in person or through the Community Core portal with full documentation

Hillsboro Beach is the only Broward County municipality that requires three signed and sealed sets of energy calculations. This is a town-specific requirement that exceeds every neighboring city. Submitting two sets — the standard for all other Broward cities — results in rejection before plan review begins. We include all three sets in every applicable submittal package.
All new window and door installations in Hillsboro Beach must comply with the town's Sea Turtle protection requirements, which govern lighting conditions visible from nesting beaches during nesting season. Non-compliant windows or doors are not approved regardless of Florida Product Approval status. We verify Sea Turtle compliance on every window and door project.
If the cost of repairing a damaged building exceeds 50% of the market value of the structure, the entire building must comply with all flood plain requirements and current zoning and building standards under Land Development Regulations Ordinance 266. We assess this threshold at the start of every repair or renovation project involving a damaged building.
We know the Community Core portal, three-energy-calculation-set requirement, Sea Turtle window and door compliance, EPD pre-approval, NOC thresholds at $2,500 and $7,500, 50% substantial improvement flood rule, architect-stamped NOA rules with retrofit exemption, and pre-construction meeting process.
