Punta Gorda is an incorporated city, so its Authority Having Jurisdiction is the City of Punta Gorda Building Department, while unincorporated Charlotte County (including Port Charlotte) permits through Charlotte County Building Construction Services. Both adopt the Florida Building Code under Charlotte County's Code of Ordinances framework and, under Florida Statute 553.791, allow a licensed private provider to run plan review and inspections. Charlotte is one of Florida's fastest-growing counties, so permit volumes stay high from a mix of new construction and continued hurricane rebuilding.
The county took a direct hit from Hurricane Ian in 2022, so storm repairs make open and expired permits especially common, and much of the area sits in FEMA flood zones where base-flood elevation and the cumulative 50%-of-value 'substantial improvement' rule can turn a repair into a larger project. High design wind speeds keep opening protection and product approvals central to review - the exact issues behind most unpermitted work here, and where Palma coordinates the fix.
Palma pulls the Charlotte 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.
