Prepare plans and documents
Residential building permits require signed and sealed architectural plans including details, product approval, and energy calculations. A complete permit set typically requires a minimum of three complete sets of building plans and five sets of site plans, including plot plans, foundation, floor, and roof-framing plans, cross sections, elevations, and energy and structural calculations.

Good to know
Building Development Division: 727-369-5647, [email protected], 6051 78th Avenue N, Pinellas Park, FL 33781, Monday to Friday 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. The former domain pinellas-park.com redirects to pinellaspark.gov; the EnerGov portal still uses the egcss.pinellas-park.com subdomain. SCOPE: this record covers one- and two-family (single-family and duplex) residential work. Commercial, multifamily and CONDOMINIUM buildings are a different permit path and can be priced differently, so do not apply these fees, checklists or exemptions to them. For a condominium, work on a common element such as the roof is normally the association's project, not an individual unit owner's. Confirm the commercial/multifamily fee with the city before relying on a number.
