PERMIT & PLANS
Demolition Permit Plans for Florida projects
Demolition permit plans show what comes down and what is protected while it does: the structure or interior scope, the sequence, the utilities being disconnected and the measures that keep the site, the street and the neighbouring buildings safe. Some counties also ask for a survey and a debris disposal plan before they issue. Owners, contractors and developers order them before a teardown.
