City of Clearwater Waives Permit Fees; Opens Pop-Up Permit Site

Published on October 14, 2024

In the aftermath of Hurricanes Helene and Milton, the city of Clearwater will waive building plan review and permit fees for residents and business owners trying to make repairs after the storms.

The waiver will be for those customers across the city who are impacted.

The city also will open a pop-up permitting site that will be located on the beach. That will make it easier for residents and business owners to talk with employees from the Planning and Development Department and begin the permitting process. That site will be located at the Clearwater Beach Recreation Center, 69 Bay Esplanade, and will open at noon Tuesday, Oct. 15. After that, it will be open weekdays from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.

Contractors and residents can apply for building permits at the pop-up permitting site or at the Municipal Services Building, 100 S. Myrtle Ave., Monday through Friday, from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. The Planning and Development Department is located on the second floor. Contractors can also apply for permits online atMyClearwater.com/Permits.

Residents or business owners who need repairs are reminded to always use licensed contractors.
