Permit Assistance
Hurricanes Helene & Milton left thousands of Pinellas County residents scrambling to deal with the mountains of red tape associated with FEMA’s “50% Rule” and the associated permit and inspection requirements imposed by St Petersburg, Gulfport, St Pete Beach,Treasure Island, Madeira Beach and other municipalities.
Many homeowners were stuck trying to figure out:
- What is the 50% Rule?
- What is the 49% Rule?
- What is a Post Disaster Emergency Permit?
- How do I get permits for flood repairs?
- How do I estimate repair costs for permits?
- How long will it take to get flood permits?
- What needs to be inspected by the City for my permit to get approved?
Dealing with repair estimates, permits, FEMA, and St Pete’s 49% Rule doesn’t have to be such a confusing and scary unknown. We can help you evaluate your property to estimate the repair costs, determine whether a FEMA appraisal or other documentation will be required, and make sure the City/FEMA will allow and permit your intended repairs.
