PERMITTING INFORMATION
Here is what you are allowed to do without a permit:
-
Removing and disposing of damaged contents, carpeting, wallboard, Insulation, etc.
-
Hosing, scrubbing, or cleaning floors, walls, ductwork, etc.
-
Covering holes in roofs or walls and covering windows to prevent the weather from inflicting further damage.
-
Removing sagging ceilings, shoring up broken foundations, and other actions to make the building safe to enter.
Here are the steps you must take now:
You must have a permit to repair any storm damage.
Permits are only being issued for storm related repairs. No permits for new construction will be issued until further notice.
To obtain the building permit:
1. Use the Building Department’s portal, call or visit the Redington Shores/Redington Beach Building Department to apply for the permit.
2. The Building Department will schedule an appointment to perform an assessment of your house per FEMA regulations. An assessment must be completed prior to the issuing of a permit.
3. All homes in Redington Beach will be assessed for storm damage, per FEMA regulations.
Doing construction repairs without a permit will result in the property owner tearing out the unpermitted work to allow inspection, and requiring a permit.
Phone number: 727-262-2218 / Address: 17425 Gulf Blvd., Redington Shores
Please be patient. The building department is working as quickly as they can but the volume of permit applications is very large.
HOW TO FIND YOUR “50%”
If you are wondering how much you can spend on repairs to your home and stay within the 50% rule FEMA restrictions, you can find the value of your structure on the Pinellas County Property Appraiser‘s website: www.pcpao.gov
1. Search for your address in the search bar
2. Click on TOOLS on the right side of the screen
3. Select “FEMA/WLM Letter”
4. You can see the value of your structure under the 50% Rule section
5. Beneath that, it will show you what half of that is and how much you can spend on improvements
If that amount seems too low, you can hire a certified, private appraiser to do a FEMA appraisal. Just be sure to tell them exactly what you are using the appraisal for because there are certain requirements they need to include. They can do it retroactively to the condition of your home before the storm hit.
