Residential Structural Engineer in Delray Beach, FL

The City of Delray Beach Development Services Building Division reviews the permit. Delray has five local historic districts (West Settlers, Old School Square, Del-Ida Park, Marina and Nassau Park); exterior work there goes to the Historic Preservation Board or preservation staff for a Certificate of Appropriateness. Removing a hardwood or palm 4 inches in diameter or larger needs a tree removal application, with a professional tree survey in the historic districts. In flood zones, improvements that reach 50% of the building's value trigger new-construction flood standards, so we size the scope with that line in mind. Oceanfront lots seaward of the state Coastal Construction Control Line add a state coastal permit, and docks and seawalls on the Intracoastal or canals can need environmental approvals the sealed plans support but do not replace. Outside the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone: Florida Product Approvals.
