Restoration in Palm Coast
A September 16, 2026 newsflash from the Palm Coast Building Division says the 2026 Florida Building Code, the 9th Edition, takes effect December 31, 2026, with the 2023 NEC among the listed codes. Until then the prior edition applies. Building Services keeps an office at 160 Lake Ave Suite #137, open 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. on weekdays. The Building Inspections and Permits line is (386) 986-3780. Permits are submitted through eplanreview, and inspections are booked by a 24-hour automated line, the portal or Alexa.
Fees aren't due at submittal but at issuance. Re-inspections and revisions are $40.00 each, and work over $5,000 needs a notice of commencement. Palm Coast offers an online Fee Calculator, but its pages don't show a per-trade fee table or a post-storm permit page. Palm Coast's line meets FEMA zones A and AE, and its ACS median build year is 2003. Evacuation zones A through E from the 2013 layer, since revised by counties, touch it too.
A claim notice starts a 60-day pay-or-deny period. The insurer's acknowledgment is due sooner, in 7 calendar days. A rebuild whose permit application goes in after December 31, 2026 needs plans designed to the 9th Edition, not the code in force today.
