After a declared emergency, Lynn Haven extends the standard 10-day portable storage unit limit (ULDC Sec. 5.02.04) on written approval by the City Manager. Yard debris from storm damage is collected separately by Public Works (850-265-5989).
Sec. 5.02.04 of the ULDC, adopted 2025, allows the City Manager to extend the standard 10-days-in-60-day cap on portable storage units 'in the event of damage to a premises caused by fire, storm, flood or declared government emergency.' Property owners must request the extension in writing. Standard yard waste under Sec. 54-30 is limited to 2 cubic yards per pickup, but Lynn Haven Public Works (850-265-5989) coordinates extended storm-debris collection separately after declared storms (e.g., Hurricane Michael 2018 cleanup ran for months). The 2025 city commission proclaimed Flood Awareness Week and the city actively participates in the NFIP, leveraging FEMA reimbursement for documented post-storm debris removal at parcel level.
Failure to obtain City Manager extension for an extended POD stay can result in $500/day Sec. 1-7 fines after the standard 10-day window.
