Commercial and multifamily construction inside St. Petersburg uses the City's Construction Services and Permitting process. New construction, additions, tenant build-outs, and changes in occupancy can involve zoning, building, accessibility, fire and life-safety, utility, and site review. Before describing a tenant space as approvable, confirm the proposed use under City zoning and whether construction or occupancy changes trigger additional reviews.
