Local and county notes for Indian Harbour Beach

The HB 803 $7,500 exemption does not cover mechanical work. Upsizing amperage or changing fuel type adds electrical or gas permits. Brevard County's own permitting office is the Brevard County Building Permits office, reachable on 321-633-2187 at https://www.brevardfl.gov/PlanningAndDevelopment/BuildingPermits/BrevardCountyBuildingPermits. Its online permit portal is https://aca-prod.accela.com/brevard/Default.aspx. It issues permits for the unincorporated county. If your city does not run its own building department, this is the office that will handle the job. Brevard County publishes its wind speed requirements as a set of maps, one per Risk Category, that you search by street address. Most houses are Risk Category 2. Screen enclosures are explicitly Risk Category 1, which is a lower design requirement than the house they attach to. Be aware the county's own map instructions still tell you to install Microsoft Silverlight, which no current browser supports, so in practice you may need to call the Building Department on 321-633-2187 to get the design wind speed for your address. Indian Harbour Beach permits are handled by the Indian Harbour Beach Building Department, reachable on 321-773-3181 at https://www.indianharbourbeach.gov/1182/Building-Department. Its online permit portal is https://opa.edmundsgovtech.cloud/?municipalId=IHBCFL. Brevard County also issues permits for the unincorporated county, and many smaller Florida municipalities contract building services to it rather than running a department of their own, so confirm which office covers your address before you apply. A change-out is normally a mechanical permit, and gas fired equipment usually adds a second permit and a pressure test.
