Demolition permits in Volusia County

Permitting is where residential demolition actually stalls, and every city inside the county runs its own building department with its own forms and its own clock. Here is where each one submits. We pull these ourselves on jobs where we are the contractor of record.

Historic review in Volusia County

A structure inside a historic district or overlay cannot be permitted for demolition on the building permit alone. It goes to a review board first, and that board meets on its own calendar. This is the most common reason a teardown slips a month.

County Ch. 62 ordinance; HPB issues Certificates of Appropriateness for demolition of designated/significant resources. Staff reviews demolition permits for structures 50+ years old (comp plan).

What is required on nearly every job

Owner authorization to permit, notarized
Survey or site plan marking the structure
Asbestos survey and the FDEP notice, at least 10 working days before demolition
Utility disconnect letters for electric, gas and water or sewer
Septic abandonment through the Health Department where the lot is on septic

Permitting, asbestos abatement, septic and well abandonment and tree mitigation are quoted separately or handled by others. That is printed on every proposal rather than turning up later as a change order.
