Permit Expediters in Palmetto Bay, FL
The Village of Palmetto Bay Building and Permitting Department is open Monday through Friday from 7:30 AM to 4:00 PM and manages all permit applications through its online portal. All contractors must register with the village before any permit application is accepted. As of 2025, the Village Council passed an ordinance reducing permit fees by 15% on certain home improvement projects for homesteaded properties, including driveways, pools, spas, pool decks, fences, standby generators, and window and door installations. Effective January 1, 2024, the Florida Building Code updated HVHZ requirements for Palmetto Bay, which is located within the High Velocity Hurricane Zone. Separate permits are required for electrical, mechanical, plumbing, signs, wells, pools, roofing, shutters, windows, fence, driveways, and air conditioning. Construction hours are 7:00 AM to 7:00 PM Monday through Saturday and 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM on Sundays and Federal holidays.

Why Choose Us
Palmetto Bay requires a separate permit for every trade discipline on a project. Filing a master permit without the accompanying trade permits results in failed inspections and delays at every stage.
We know:
- That separate permits are required for electrical, mechanical, plumbing, pools, roofing, shutters, windows, fences, driveways, and air conditioning, every discipline needs its own permit, and missing any one of them stops that phase of work
- That all contractors must register through the village online portal before any permit application is accepted, and unregistered contractors cause immediate rejection at intake
- That the 2025 ordinance reduces permit fees by 15% for homesteaded properties on driveways, pools, spas, pool decks, fences, standby generators, and window and door installations, and we apply this discount on every qualifying application
- That HVHZ requirements were updated January 1, 2024 and all plans submitted for Palmetto Bay must comply with the new High Velocity Hurricane Zone code requirements for windows, doors, roofing, and other exterior elements
- That HB 803 effective July 1, 2026 exempts qualifying single-family residential projects valued under $7,500 from building permit requirements, and we assess exemption eligibility at the start of every applicable residential project
- That construction is restricted to 7:00 AM to 7:00 PM Monday through Saturday and 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM on Sundays and Federal holidays, and work outside these hours is a code violation
