If your St. Petersburg property has additions, renovations, or structural changes made without a required building permit, Palma Building Solutions resolves it: we pull the Pinellas 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.

St. Petersburg, Clearwater, and Largo each permit on their own municipal systems, while unincorporated Pinellas County and several partner communities go through the county's Building and Development Review Services and its Access portal, so the first step is confirming which authority holds your record. All adopt the Florida Building Code, and under Florida Statute 553.791 a licensed private provider can handle plan review and inspections in place of staff.
Pinellas is Florida's most densely built coastal county, and barrier-island areas like St. Pete Beach and Treasure Island sit in FEMA Special Flood Hazard Areas where the cumulative 50%-of-value substantial-improvement rule can reshape a project's scope. After the 2024 hurricane season several beach municipalities reworked how they apply the rule to keep more storm-damaged homes repairable, and the state waived after-the-fact permit penalties through June 30, 2026, though standard fees still apply. That storm-recovery backdrop is where expired permits, open permits, and unpermitted repairs surface, and where Palma's coordination saves the most time.
Palma pulls the Pinellas 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.
