New one-family and two-family homes, townhomes, detached accessory dwelling units, and modular or manufactured residential projects in unincorporated Pinellas County use Building and Development Review Services. The County residential permit catalog treats new construction as a distinct record type. Before applying, verify jurisdiction and assess applicable zoning, setbacks, floodplain, utilities or septic, right-of-way access, environmental or habitat review, and plan requirements; County intake guidance says requirements vary by permit type and scope of work. A mailing city or Property Appraiser use code is not proof that a lot is buildable. Use the resolved jurisdiction, zoning district, legal lot or plat status, survey, flood information, utility availability, and any easements or environmental constraints before giving a preliminary feasibility answer.
