Lynn Haven's Concrete, Stormwater, Driveway permit covers driveway construction, grading, and stormwater modifications. Driveway slope must direct runoff away from neighboring properties.
Lynn Haven combines concrete work, stormwater modifications, and driveways under a single permit category submitted to the Building Department (817 Ohio Ave). The permit ensures that grading does not concentrate runoff onto a neighboring property and that driveway construction conforms to the city's right-of-way rules. Per ULDC Sec. 5.01.02(B), all impervious surface changes including driveways count toward stormwater runoff calculations. Cul-de-sacs and driveways within FEMA AE zones must respect the Sec. 14-28 elevation rule (12 inches above crown of road).
Concentrating runoff onto neighbors triggers Code Enforcement Sec. 1-7 fines up to $500 and potential nuisance suit under Florida common law.
