The county handles permitting for all unincorporated areas, while the cities of St. Augustine and St. Augustine Beach maintain their own independent building departments. Projects in unincorporated areas are subject to specific coastal construction control lines and extensive flood zone regulations due to the county's Atlantic coastline and St. Johns River frontage.
The county enforces a strict Tree Protection Ordinance that requires specific permitting and mitigation for the removal of protected trees on residential and commercial sites.
Cómo encaja con el estado
La autoridad estatal aquí es Florida DBPR - Construction Industry Licensing Board. El expediente del condado no la reemplaza — añade la oficina de permisos, las reglas locales y el camino real de presentación.
