Shalimar, FL Permit Fees (2026)

Building permit fees and building, electrical, plumbing, mechanical/HVAC, and roofing permit fees for Shalimar, straight from the official fee schedule, with a free permit fee calculator below.

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 Sections 9.00.11 and 9.01.10 provide. Before applying to the County, a building permit or stand-alone trade permit first needs a local Town of Shalimar permit from Town Hall; 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).
