Residential Structural Engineer in Clearwater, FL

The City of Clearwater Planning & Development Department reviews the permit through its online permitting system. Docks and seawalls are permitted by Pinellas County Water and Navigation, inside city limits too, after the City gives its pre-approval; boat lifts need a City building permit. The City has adopted higher building elevations than the FEMA map, and its flood map shows each parcel's design flood elevation and prior substantial-improvement history, so we size the scope against the 50% line. Lots seaward of the state Coastal Construction Control Line, such as Gulf-side Clearwater Beach, add a state coastal permit. Removing a tree 4 inches in diameter or larger needs a City permit. Outside the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone: Florida Product Approvals.
