If your Pensacola property has additions, renovations, or structural changes made without a required building permit, Palma Building Solutions resolves it: we pull the Escambia County record, confirm exactly what you're dealing with, and coordinate after-the-fact permitting, as-built or sealed drawings where the code requires them, and the re-inspections needed to legalize the work - through a network of independently licensed Florida engineers and contractors.

Work inside the City of Pensacola is permitted by the city's Development Services Department (Building Inspections) under Chapter 14-2 (Building Construction Standards) of the city code, while unincorporated Escambia County permits through its Building Services division, so the first step is confirming which authority holds your record. Both adopt the Florida Building Code, and under Florida Statute 553.791 a licensed private provider can perform plan review and inspections in place of staff.
This is the far-western Panhandle Gulf coast, where design wind speeds run high and the area sits in the wind-borne debris region, so impact-rated openings, product approvals, and method-of-wind-load documentation are routine review items, with local enforcement shaped by lessons from Hurricane Michael. Escambia County's FEMA Flood Insurance Rate Maps were updated effective August 19, 2025, so base-flood elevation and the substantial-improvement rule frequently apply, and storm-recovery work is where open permits, expired permits, and unpermitted repairs surface.
Palma pulls the Escambia County record, confirms the exact issue, and coordinates the fix - after-the-fact permitting, as-built or sealed drawings where the code requires them, and the re-inspections needed to legalize the work - through licensed Florida pros, from first call to final sign-off.
