Restoration in Jacksonville
Jacksonville files every permit type in JaxEPICS, the Building Inspection Division's online system. The division works from the Ed Ball Building, 214 North Hogan Street, Room 280, at 904-255-8500, with inspectors on the job from 7 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. The code it enforces is Florida's 2023 building code, the 8th edition. Its Hurricane and Tropical Storm Recovery page asks owners to apply through JaxEPICS as soon as possible and says some permits may be expedited, with some fees reduced, under SB180.
When power or connectivity fails, staff process permits by hand on the 2nd floor at the same address. The page also tells owners to check the contractor's license with the DBPR. The undated fee table under Section 320.409 lists alterations, including major repair, per $1,000 of estimated cost: BID permit fee $3.00, resource management fee $0.65, Development Services fee $1.00 and C&D debris fee $0.90. The BID permit minimum is $112.50, or $33.75 per required inspection if that's greater.
Single-family demolition lists a BID permit fee of $37.50, a Development Services fee of $12.50 and a C&D debris fee of $400.00 per 1000 square feet. Five FEMA flood zones, VE, AO, AH, AE and A, touch the city's boundary. So do evacuation zones A through F on a 2013 regional layer that counties have revised since. Census estimates put Jacksonville's median year built at 1987. On that table a major repair is priced as an alteration, at $3.00 per $1,000 of estimated cost for the BID permit and never under $112.50.
