Restoration in Boca Raton
Boca Raton's user fee schedule, effective October 1, 2026, sets one- and two-family building permits at a $100.00 minimum for the first $500 of valuation, then 1.60% of the remainder. Additions, alterations and repairs follow the same terms. No demolition permit row is printed. Its only line is a $400.00 Historic Preservation Board item, so a general demolition fee isn't printed. Staff work from 200 NW 2nd Avenue, 561-393-7930, weekdays from 8am to 4:00pm, though Wednesday ends at 3pm.
Boca eHub carries applications, payments and inspections, and the city's Code in Effect page names the Florida Building Code's 8th Edition (2023) as current. The city's Post-Storm Permitting and Recovery Guide describes online filing around the clock and says fees may be waived or reduced under state law. Fixing a leaking pipe, unclogging a drain or swapping a toilet without valve or pipe changes needs no permit. Emergency work that normally needs a permit must be applied for by the next business day.
The guide prints no 50 percent rule. Florida's under-$7,500 single-family exemption, effective 1 July 2026, is closed to any lot within a flood hazard area. Five FEMA zones, A, AE, AH, AO and VE, reach Boca Raton's city line, and Census estimates give 1983 as the median year its housing was built. Inside one of those zones the exemption is off the table, and a permitted repair is priced on the $100.00 minimum and 1.60% row.
