Lynn Haven requires a Land Clearing, Cleaning, Job Site Development permit for any lot clearing. Erosion-control measures (silt fence, hay bales) are required under the city's NPDES MS4 obligations and Chapter 26.
Lynn Haven's published permit list includes 'Land Clearing, Cleaning, Job Site Development' as a standalone permit type. Any clearing of vegetation, grading, or job-site preparation requires submission to the Building Department (817 Ohio Ave). The permit triggers stormwater pollution prevention plan (SWPPP) requirements for sites over 1 acre under the FDEP-issued NPDES Construction Generic Permit. Smaller sites still need basic erosion control (silt fence around the perimeter, stabilized construction entrance). Discharge of sediment to the city storm sewer or to North Bay is an illicit discharge under Chapter 26 and Florida DEP rules.
Failure to install erosion control - city Sec. 1-7 up to $500/day plus FDEP up to $10,000/day for unpermitted discharge.
