Most renovation work in Broward County requires a building permit due to Florida Building Code requirements and HVHZ standards. Structural, electrical, plumbing, mechanical, and roofing work all require permits. Permits expire if work doesn't begin within 180 days.
Broward County follows the Florida Building Code (HVHZ edition), which requires permits for most renovation work. Permits are required for: structural modifications, electrical work, plumbing changes, mechanical/HVAC work, roofing replacement (all roofing work requires a permit in Florida), window and door replacement (impact-rated products required in HVHZ), room additions, and kitchen/bathroom remodels involving plumbing or electrical changes. Cosmetic work not requiring a permit includes painting, flooring, and cabinet installation. All permits expire if work doesn't begin within 180 days. Impact-rated windows and doors are required for all replacements in the HVHZ. Roofing permits require a licensed contractor. Plan review typically takes 2-4 weeks for residential projects.
Unpermitted work faces fines of $250-$500 per day, stop-work orders, and retroactive permit requirements at increased fees. Insurance claims may be denied for unpermitted work.
