Palm Beach County Custom Home Development Considerations

Custom home site work in Palm Beach County requires attention to unique local conditions and regulatory requirements:

• Building Division Permits: Custom home projects require Building Division permits from Palm Beach County Building Division. 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): Custom home projects may require Environmental Resources Management (ERM) review for projects affecting wetlands, protected species, or environmentally sensitive areas. ERM ensures that proposed custom home developments comply with the Unified Land Development Code (ULDC) and environmental protection requirements.
• Flood Zone Compliance: Many custom home sites in Palm Beach County, particularly in areas like Palm Beach, Jupiter, and coastal neighborhoods, are in FEMA flood zones requiring specific elevation requirements and Base Flood Elevation (BFE) compliance for building pads and driveways. For waterfront properties common in Palm Beach and Jupiter areas, elevation and seawall compliance certifications are necessary, which can extend the review timeline.
• High Water Table: Palm Beach County's high water table, especially in areas like Palm Beach, Jupiter, and coastal neighborhoods, requires specialized dewatering techniques and foundation design for custom home construction, with SFWMD Environmental Resource Permits required for dewatering activities affecting state waters.
• Tree Protection Requirements: Palm Beach County requires tree protection for development activities, particularly important in established neighborhoods like El Cid, Grandview Heights, and Palm Beach. 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.
• 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 for custom homes.
• 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.
• Setback and Zoning Requirements: Custom home sites must comply with Palm Beach County or municipal setback requirements, zoning regulations, and lot coverage restrictions. We ensure all site work meets these requirements.
