Safety Harbor City review plus Pinellas County building permit

Source references checked 2026-09-29. How we check sources

Safety Harbor is also a split-authority jurisdiction. Under the interlocal agreement effective May 1, 2021, Pinellas County performs Florida Building Code permitting and inspections for many permit types, while Safety Harbor reviews compliance with its Land Development Code, City Code, Fire Code, flood rules, and other local requirements. New residential, additions, and commercial projects can require City completeness and local review before County building review; final closeout can require City approvals before the County final or CO/CC. StartFL should represent both City and County steps.
