This includes, but is not limited to, the following:

  • Drywall repair and installation

  • Flooring repairs and replacements

Permitting Process

Hurricane Repairs: For structures where hurricane damage was sustained and there are no open/issued building permits, please submit an emergency hurricane application through the public portal. Do not begin replacement work until a permit has been issued.

Existing Permits: For structures with an issued/open permit where hurricane damage was sustained, a revision is required. No work shall continue until the revision has been approved and issued to include the hurricane related repairs. To add hurricane damage repair work to an issued/open permit, the following documents are required for the revision submittal and must be uploaded through the public portal to the existing permit:

  1.  Revision Form
  • Complete and submit a revision form indicating hurricane damage
  • Include a detailed description of the proposed repairs on the form
  1. Scope of Work Letter
  • Provide a separate letter outlining all additional work required to restore the structure to pre-storm condition
  1. SI/SD Cost Breakdown Form for Addition/Alterations/Repairs in a Special Flood Hazard Area
  • Ensure all pages of the SI/SD form are complete before submission
  • The cost estimate of reconstruction on page 6 is required
  • Projects relying on a certified appraisal report to establish the actual cash value of a structure must provide a recent appraisal completed within the last six months, as stipulated by FEMA P-758

Please contact the Building Department at (239) 213-5020 if you require additional assistance.
