NOTICE TO CONTRACTORS: Effective Jan. 2, 2009, all building permit applications will require the notarized signature of the owner.

Please be aware that impact fee schedules for parks, fire and thoroughfare roads are under review and have not changed. Volusia County Council will hear the findings of the consultant study at a workshop to be scheduled in 2009.

The Permit Center processes all building permits for projects located in unincorporated Volusia County. If your project is in one of the  cities you will obtain the applications from their municipal building department.  If you have a question about your site location, go to the Property Appraiser's web site.  For status information or to schedule inspections, make sure you have your permit number to call:  (386) 626-6640 in DeLand, (386) 257-6092 in Daytona Beach, or (386) 424-6892 in New Smyrna Beach.

Where to start (residential) - Before starting the permit application for your project, verify that zoning regulations allow the type of structure you plan to build. An agricultural use on the property might allow you to build a farm building without a building permit.  For more information go to the Zoning page.

Where to start (commercial) - Most commercial buildings will need a development review before a building permit application can be submitted.

Impact fees
The Permit Center also manages the county wide impact fee programs.  If your project is within city limits, you should register for county impact fee review when you submit your building permit application.  Projects located anywhere in the county and within city boundaries will be assessed a road impact fee and a school impact fee. In the unincorporated county, impact fees are assessed for fire, local parks and district parks. Projects in the cities of DeBary, Oak Hill, Lake Helen and Pierson will be assessed a fire impact fee in addition to fees for roads and schools. Many cities have impact fees for municipal funding so be sure to confirm charges directly with their building department.  Volusia County Impact Fee Ordinance is Chapter 70 of the Volusia County Code of Ordinances.

E-update - From time to time, there are changes to fee schedules or procedures. We would like to keep you up to date by making sure you get the information you need.
