Florida demolition permit application
Demolition permits hinge on two things outside the demo itself: proof that utilities are disconnected and proof that the structure was surveyed for asbestos. Both belong on the application, not in a follow-up email.
What goes on the Florida version
- Structure or portion being demolished
- Utility disconnect confirmations for power, gas, water and sewer
- Asbestos survey / NESHAP notification status
- Debris disposal site and hauling details
Florida is one of our code-tuned states, so the packet builder also flags the state-specific attachments this scope triggers before you file.
Mistakes that get it kicked back
- Starting interior demo before the asbestos survey is on file
- Listing only the electric disconnect when gas and water caps are also required
- Failing to name the disposal facility where the jurisdiction requires tipping receipts
