Expert Guidance for Union County Building Department Permits

The Union County Building Department enforces the Florida Building Code, 7th Edition (2020), which includes specific provisions for structural integrity, wind resistance, and flood plain management. Projects in Union County must consider wind design criteria based on ASCE 7-16, with specific wind speeds varying by location within the county. Our engineers are adept at preparing permit documents that meet these stringent requirements, including detailed structural plans and calculations. We also address any specific local amendments or interpretations of the FBC that may impact your project, ensuring full compliance from the outset.

Securing a building permit in Union County involves several stages, from plan review to inspections. Typical permit review timelines can vary, often taking several weeks depending on the project's complexity and the department's current workload. Common challenges include incomplete submittals, non-compliance with FBC sections like Chapter 16 (Structural Design) or Chapter 3 (Building Planning), and issues related to site-specific conditions.
