If there any questions as to whether or not a permit is required, always check in advance.

Always use licensed contractors for all proposed work on your property.

 

Duties:

-Provide plan review and required inspections for all permitted construction projects.

-Checks licensing and registrations for all permit applications, utilizing the Volusia County Licensing Program through an interlocal agreement.

 

Always Check Before Building:

Start with a zoning (Community Development) to see if what you want to do is feasible and/or allowed.

- One completed permit application

- Occupancy classification, occupant load, type of construction, level of alteration (If applicable)
