The Building Division processes all building permits for projects located within the city limits of DeLand. If the project is located in unincorporated Volusia County, the permit will need to be obtained from the Building Department of Volusia County. If you have a question about whether your property is located in the city or county, go to the Property Appraiser's website.
It is recommended before starting the permitting process, all proposed construction projects should contact the Planning Division, 386-626-7005, to verify the zoning regulations for the type of structure you plan to build.
It is in your best interest to secure permits for all work that is constructed on your property. Permits are necessary to satisfy insurance requirements, and to protect the health, safety, and welfare of our citizens. Any work completed without obtaining the proper permits could result in complications when selling your home such as preventing the sale of the property until the work is compliant with current city and building codes, in addition to the risk of incurring fines for completing the work without a permit.
NOTE: New Commercial Construction projects, including additions, are required to submit a county impact fee application along with a copy of the floor plan to the Volusia County Permit Center in order for County transportation impact fees to be calculated. Volusia County impact fees can be deferred until the completion of the project. The Certificate of Occupancy will not be issued until all fees are paid in full. For more information, please call 386-736-5929, Extension 12097.
A non-refundable application fee is charged on all permit applications at the time of submittal.
$30.00 for Residential Projects
$50.00 for Commercial Projects
New Construction valuation will be based on the current rate of the ICC Building Valuation Data Table or actual value, whichever is greater. Note: Please see revised City Ordinance reducing the ICC Valuation from 75% to 60%.
