Building Permit Fees in Shalimar, FL (2026)

Okaloosa County's Growth Management Department reviews, issues, and inspects building, electrical, plumbing, mechanical, and roofing permits for the Town of Shalimar under an interlocal agreement and charges its countywide fee schedule (Resolution 17-102) on those permits, as the Town's Land Development Code Sec. 9.01.10 provides. The Town separately requires its own local Town of Shalimar permit before the County will accept an application; that local permit fee is set by a Town fee schedule that is not published online and is not included in these estimates (Town Hall 850-651-5723).
