Residential additions and remodels inside the City of St. Petersburg are permitted by the City's Construction Services and Permitting division, not Pinellas County BDRS. The permit path must be paired with City zoning, floodplain, historic or overlay review, and site-specific setbacks before answering feasibility. An addition or second story also requires structural plans that address the connection to the existing building. StartFL should use the St. Petersburg parcel jurisdiction and City rules rather than falling back to unincorporated Pinellas standards.
