Why do I need to get a building permit for property I own?
Pursuant to the adopted Standard Building Code, any and all work performed required that you obtain a building permit, except for minor repairs. The plans must be reviewed, the material and work inspected to assure proper and safe installation. It is always to your advantage to check with the Building Division before you begin your construction activity. Staff will be happy to determine whether a permit is required for the scope of work you are performing.
Where can I get flood zone determination for my property?
The Building Services Division of the City of Rockledge can provide you with this information. Call 690-3984.
Do I need a permit to re-roof my home if I perform the work myself?
Yes, any type of repair to the roof requires a building permit. The City checks to make sure compliance with the Codes is being followed and that the proper building materials are being used. For your protection, we do assure the owner and not an unlicensed contractor, is in fact, doing the work being performed.
