How to Apply for a Permit in Satellite Beach

Satellite Beach issues its own building permits through the Community Development Department. Permits are applied for online through the city's BS&A Online portal, where you can submit an application, upload plans, pay fees, track the application, and schedule or cancel inspections. Staff will also answer questions by phone before you apply if you are unsure whether your project needs a permit.

A typical submittal includes the online application and scope of work, a site plan or survey showing setbacks and easements, signed and sealed plans with wind design data where required, Florida Product Approval or Miami-Dade NOA product approvals for windows, doors, roofing and shutters, floodplain information such as elevation data and lowest-floor details for AE, VE and Coastal A zones, a Notice of Commencement where Florida law and city policy require one, and contractor and subcontractor license and insurance information. Contractors need an active Florida DBPR license in the correct trade, Brevard County competency registration where applicable, liability and workers' compensation coverage or a state-approved exemption, and a City of Satellite Beach Business Tax Receipt. Owners acting as their own contractor file an Owner-Builder Disclosure.

In-person help and paper forms are available at the Community Development Department at 1390 S. Patrick Drive during office hours. Inspections are requested through your BS&A account, where you can also view results and message the inspector; post the permit card on site and provide safe access.
