Does a small flooring job under $7,500 need a permit in Kendall, FL?
Some small jobs can use a simpler path, since Florida now lets qualifying projects valued under $7,500 on a single-family home, duplex or townhouse go ahead without a building permit. Units in multi-family buildings and properties partly or entirely in a flood hazard area don't qualify, and electrical, plumbing, structural, mechanical and gas work still needs a county permit even under $7,500. The exemption has to be requested in writing through the county's permit portal with the contract showing the work and its value, and a job can't be split into smaller phases to get under the line, so we sort that out before we schedule.
