Frequently asked questions
Where do I submit a permit application in Homestead?

Electronic only via EPL-B.U.I.L.D. — strict file naming convention REQUIRED. Portal: https://www.homesteadfl.gov/746/.

Do I need a Notice of Commencement in Homestead?

Florida law requires a recorded Notice of Commencement when the contract price is greater than $5,000 ($15,000 for repair or replacement of an existing heating or air conditioning system). Timing can vary, so confirm with the Homestead building department whether it is due at application or before the first inspection.

Is Homestead in the High Velocity Hurricane Zone (HVHZ)?

Yes. Homestead is in the HVHZ, which affects product approval and wind load requirements.

Horizontal wood fences need product approvals too — not just aluminum/PVC/chain link.
