The Building Department provides three different services: building
plans review and inspections, code enforcement and issuance of occupational
licenses.
Permits and
Inspections
The Building Department receives building permit
applications for all structures ranging from office buildings to homes to fences
and reviews the construction plans to assure that they meet requirements of the
Florida Building Code, other ordinances in effect; checks contractors for
required licenses; and maintains records. Field inspections of buildings are
conducted to make sure they are being constructed in accordance with approved
plans and all applicable construction codes. Inspectors are state certified in
their respective areas. Tree permits and permits for water and sewer connections
are also issued through this office.

Code
Enforcement
Two Code Enforcement Officers is also employed by the
Building Department. The officer enforces a broad range of land use ordinances
to assure that a healthy, safe and attractive environment is maintained for
DeLand's residents. Code enforcement services are provided in response to
citizen complaints, but work efforts also include proactive enforcement and
educational components designed to promote compliance with adopted regulations.
When necessary, compliance may be achieved through the City's Code Enforcement
Board which has the authority to levy a fine of up to $250.00 per day (more for
repeat violations). For certain violations, Code Enforcement Officers may issue
citations or "tickets" instead of processing a violation through the
Code Enforcement Board. In general, tickets are reserved for more serious or
repeat violations.
