How Palma resolves open permits in Sarasota

Work in unincorporated Sarasota County is permitted by the Sarasota County Building Division under Chapter 22 (Buildings and Building Regulations) of the county code and the Florida Building Code, while the City of Sarasota permits its own area - so the first step is confirming which authority holds your record. Under Florida Statute 553.791, a licensed private provider can handle plan review and inspections. The county has modernized permitting recently, adding live virtual inspections and expedited reviews for smaller residential work.

Sarasota's Gulf coast and barrier islands like Siesta Key and Longboat Key sit in FEMA Special Flood Hazard Areas and the wind-borne debris region, so base-flood elevation, the 50%-of-value substantial-improvement rule, opening protection, and product approvals frequently shape a project. Those local rules are where expired permits, open permits, and unpermitted coastal work surface, and where Palma's coordination keeps the project moving.
