North Palm Beach, FL Permit Fees (2026)
Building permit fees and building, electrical, plumbing, and mechanical/HVAC permit fees for North Palm Beach, straight from the official fee schedule, with a free permit fee calculator below.
The North Palm Beach Village Council took up a resolution on October 22, 2026 that would replace the per-square-foot building, electrical, mechanical and plumbing fees shown here with a flat $170 (single-family) or $255 (multifamily and commercial) plus $75 per required inspection, raise the administrative fee from 4% to 8%, and change several flat fees; the outcome has not been published yet. These estimates use the schedule in force before that vote. Separately, under Florida HB 803 some single-family projects under $7,500 may not need a Village permit; the exemption excludes electrical, plumbing, structural, mechanical and gas work and flood-zone properties, and requires a notarized request.

In North Palm Beach, a building permit for a remodel runs $281.00 in permit fees, a $10,000 HVAC change-out $421.50, an electrical panel upgrade or rewire $281.00, and a whole-house repipe $281.00. Totals include the documented surcharges and minimum fees; where the schedule prices by unit, figures assume a 200 sq ft remodel area and a 200 sq ft job area. Each figure is that single permit only: a job that combines trades, like a kitchen remodel with electrical and plumbing work, pays each applicable permit.
