Description
VOLUSIA COUNTY, FLORIDA – The Volusia County Council waives application, permit, and plan review fees for the repair and reconstruction of residential and commercial structures directly affected by Hurricane Milton during the October 15 meeting.
Additionally, the county will waive fees associated with the placement and installation of RV or mobile shelters, provided that a valid temporary housing permit is obtained. To qualify for the fee waiver, applicants must submit proof of damage. Acceptable forms of verification include:
• Photographs of the damaged property
• Written verification from an insurance adjuster
• Written verification from a licensed architect, engineer, or contractor
• Written verification from a county official
Available through April 30, 2025, the fee waiver only applies to the reconstruction or repair of structures returning to their previously permitted condition. Any additions or alterations to the original structure will require a separate permit, and all applicable fees will be assessed. If a variance is necessary for reconstruction, the applicant will be responsible only for the actual cost of due public and legal notices. There will be no administrative review fee for these requests.
To learn more about the permitting process or to apply for a permit, visit Permit Center (volusia.org) or call 386-736-5929.
