Do I need a permit for interior remodeling in Davie?

Florida and local notes for Davie

Electrical, plumbing, mechanical, gas, and structural work still need a permit regardless of cost. HB 803 bars splitting a project to stay under $7,500 and does not apply in flood-hazard areas. Local departments implement HB 803 individually, so confirm the policy in your jurisdiction. Every address in this county sits inside the Florida Building Code High Velocity Hurricane Zone, the strictest wind construction standard in the state, so materials and methods face requirements that do not apply elsewhere in Florida. Your city issues the permit, not the county. Broward's 31 municipal building departments each run their own permitting and inspections, while the county Board of Rules and Appeals sets code interpretation and the countywide amendments they all work from. The Broward County Amendments to the Florida Building Code, published by the Board of Rules and Appeals under the county charter, apply on top of the state code everywhere in the county. Individual cities can add their own amendments as well, so confirm both. Davie's General Information page applies Florida Building Code 104.1, making it unlawful to alter or repair a building or install regulated equipment without first obtaining a permit, and Davie's fee schedule charges a double permit fee for work started without a permit. Davie Code 5-8 requires an affidavit of awareness of homeowners' association regulations with every building permit, and the Addendum Form notes that a Davie permit does not exempt you from HOA rules. The Addendum Form says Davie has an exclusive solid waste franchise with Coastal Waste and Recycling, and no other hauler may be used for construction and demolition debris.
