Description

Description

The City of Lake Worth Beach implemented new residential building permit exemption requirements effective July 1, 2026, under Florida House Bill 803. This law allows some small residential projects on single-family homes valued at less than $7,500 to qualify for an exemption from the building permit process, provided that property owners or contractors submit a written exemption request and receive written approval before starting work. Projects that may qualify include interior painting, flooring replacement, cabinet replacement without relocating plumbing, drywall repairs, and other non-structural cosmetic improvements. Some exterior projects like patios, walkways, fences, driveways, gazebos, pergolas, and certain sheds may also be exempt from building permits but might require zoning permits. The exemption does not apply to work regulated by the Florida Building Code, work in flood hazard areas, or commercial properties. Permits are still required for electrical, plumbing, structural, mechanical, HVAC, gas work, and other specified projects.
