Deck Construction Permits in Coral Springs
Local Rule
City of Coral Springs Building Department
The city's own Code of Ordinances (Chapter 5) states that anyone who starts construction without first obtaining a permit is required to obtain the applicable permit at two times the regular fee, a real financial penalty on top of the general Florida requirement that decks be permitted. Coral Springs sits on sandy, permeable soil with a water table running 2 to 4 feet below grade in many neighborhoods, which the city's own permit process specifically flags for drainage and soil-bearing review on any deck or foundation work. Florida Statute 489.103(7) lets an owner of record pull an owner-builder permit for work on their own single-family home without a contractor license, provided the home is intended for their own occupancy.
