Palm Beach County Specific Considerations
Complete site development in Palm Beach County requires attention to unique local conditions and regulatory requirements:
- Building Division Permits: Palm Beach County Building Division requires building permits for all site development work. Building permits must be obtained before beginning construction, and the Building Division reviews plans to ensure compliance with the Florida Building Code and Palm Beach County requirements.
- Environmental Resources Management (ERM): Palm Beach County Environmental Resources Management (ERM) reviews projects for environmental impacts and compliance with the Unified Land Development Code (ULDC). ERM review is required for projects affecting wetlands, protected species, or environmentally sensitive areas, and ensures proper environmental protection and regulatory adherence.
- Unified Land Development Code (ULDC): Palm Beach County's Unified Land Development Code (ULDC) regulates land development activities and enforces requirements for development in environmentally sensitive areas, including flood zones and stormwater management systems. Compliance ensures proper environmental protection and regulatory adherence.
- SFWMD Environmental Resource Permits: SFWMD Environmental Resource Permits are required for activities affecting state waters and wetlands, including dredging and filling, constructing flood protection facilities, providing stormwater containment and treatment, site grading, and building dams or reservoirs. As of June 28, 2024, new water quality performance standards were implemented.
- Flood Zone Compliance: Many Palm Beach County properties in neighborhoods like Palm Beach, Jupiter, and coastal areas are in FEMA flood zones requiring specific elevation requirements and Base Flood Elevation (BFE) compliance. We ensure all site work meets these requirements.
- High Water Table: Palm Beach County's high water table, particularly in areas like Palm Beach, Jupiter, and coastal neighborhoods, requires specialized dewatering techniques and foundation design. Our contractors understand local groundwater conditions and SFWMD permit requirements for dewatering activities.
- Coastal Soil Conditions: Coastal areas in Palm Beach County including Palm Beach, Jupiter, and Juno Beach feature unique soil characteristics including limestone bedrock, sandy soils, and organic materials that affect grading, compaction, and foundation design.
- Tree Protection Requirements: Palm Beach County requires tree protection for development activities. Protected trees must be identified and preserved according to county standards, with Environmental Resources Management (ERM) review required for tree removal in environmentally sensitive areas.
- Permit Processing: Palm Beach County permit processing times vary based on project complexity and Environmental Resources Management (ERM) review requirements. Building Division and ERM review can add time to projects. We coordinate permit applications to minimize delays.
