CODES & LOCAL AUTHORITY
FIPS 12035
Article I · County Baseline

The county inherits from the state. And adds local rules.

The county enforces the Florida Building Code 8th Edition (2023).

Flagler County handles building permits for unincorporated areas and the city of Bunnell, while the cities of Palm Coast, Flagler Beach, and Beverly Beach maintain their own independent building departments. Coastal construction in the county is subject to strict Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) regulations and local coastal construction control line requirements.

The county enforces specific impact fees for new construction, including separate assessments for school, road, and fire rescue infrastructure.

How this fits with the state

The state authority here is Florida DBPR - Construction Industry Licensing Board. The county file does not replace that — it adds the permit office, local overlays, and the actual filing path.

Frequently Asked

Questions contractors ask before filing.

Q02Does the county or the city issue the permit?+
It depends on where the work is. Unincorporated areas usually route through the county (Flagler County Building Department). Work inside an incorporated city normally files with that city's department.Source · Flagler County Building Department
