Prepare a residential addition permit in unincorporated Brevard

Unincorporated County

For a verified unincorporated Brevard parcel, the County publishes a residential addition permit checklist and its three-page building permit application. Licensed contractors may apply in Brevard's Advanced Service Site (BASS); an owner-builder must personally appear in the County permitting office. Supplemental requirements depend on the parcel, construction and applicant. This is a researched guide, not a finished paid filing packet.

Steps

  1. 1

    Verify the parcel falls under unincorporated Brevard Building Code

    Confirm the official parcel and unincorporated jurisdiction; incorporated towns may have separate permitting offices.

  3. 3

    Prepare the official Brevard building permit application

    The currently linked County PDF has job address, owner, applicant, contractor, scope and project-cost fields. A licensed contractor's online BASS submission may not require the separate paper application.

  4. 4

    Determine owner-builder, subcontractor and site-document requirements

    Brevard requires owner-builders to submit in person; subcontractor and engineering documents depend on the work. A recorded Notice of Commencement may be required for values above the County's stated threshold.

  5. 5

    Apply through the authorized channel and follow corrections and inspections

    Licensed contractors can use Brevard's BASS service. Owner-builders must apply in person. Final fees and review requirements must be confirmed for the specific parcel before submitting.

Good to know

Candidate only; additional engineering, land-clearing, septic, site and zoning conditions plus current adopted fees need parcel- and project-specific verification. Do not offer a paid kit. Official county page and PDF returned HTTP 403 to StartFL server on October 22, 2026; listing them does not imply a successful live form mirror.
