Frequently asked questions.

Do you prepare permit drawings in Gulf County, FL?

Who reviews building permits in Gulf County, FL?

Gulf County Building Department reviews permits for unincorporated areas of Gulf County, FL. Incorporated cities such as Port St. Joe and Wewahitchka usually review permits inside their own limits. We confirm the reviewing office for your address before drafting.

Which building code applies in Gulf County, FL?

Florida uses one statewide code, the Florida Building Code. The 8th Edition (2023) has been in effect since December 31, 2023, and the 9th Edition (2026) is scheduled to take effect on December 31, 2026. We draw to the edition in force when your permit is submitted.

Is Gulf County, FL in the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone?

No. Only Miami-Dade and Broward counties are in the HVHZ. Projects in Gulf County, FL still need wind design to the Florida Building Code, and exterior products need Florida Product Approval or local approval.

Does my Gulf County project need a flood zone review?

Gulf County is a coastal county, so many properties are in FEMA flood zones and some fall under coastal construction rules. If yours does, the site plan usually shows the flood zone and elevations, and an elevation certificate may be required.

Do I need a notice of commencement in Gulf County, FL?

Under Florida law, a notice of commencement is required for improvements with a direct contract over $5,000. It is recorded with the clerk of court before the first inspection. Repair or replacement of an existing heating or air conditioning system under $15,000 is exempt.

Can I pull my own permit in Gulf County, FL?

Florida allows property owners to act as their own contractor under the owner-builder exemption, with a signed disclosure statement. The building department explains the rules that apply. We prepare the drawings either way.

Do you prepare drawings for cities in Gulf County, FL?

Yes. We prepare drawings for projects in Port St. Joe, Wewahitchka and Cape San Blas and every other part of the county. Each city can have its own zoning rules and checklist, so we check them for your address.

Do I need a survey for a site plan in Gulf County, FL?

Often, but not always. Many offices accept an existing survey or recorded plat for small projects, while others ask for a current boundary survey. We tell you what applies before you pay.

Do drawings for Gulf County, FL need to be sealed?

It depends on the project and the jurisdiction. Many residential projects do not require a seal. Where one is required, licensed professional review can be coordinated, subject to the professional's independent review.

How do I get a quote for a project in Gulf County, FL?

Send the property address, the project type and any survey, photos or city comments. We reply with a written scope, price and timeline.
