What you need to know about permitting in Pinellas:

• In early 2023, Pinellas County became one of the first AHJs in Florida to allow for virtual inspections. Inspections for minor repairs/OTC permits such as residential water heater/HVAC installation or repair can be conducted virtually, via a smartphone app.
• FL Statute 553.791 allows for Private Provider Plan Review & Inspections statewide, in all AHJs. It allows for fee owners to choose a Private Provider at their own discretion, when seeking a Building Permit.
• Prior to building or modifying any form of Driveway, Curb-Cut, or Entrance/Exit intended for cars, you must seek approval from the FL Department of Transportation.
