Deck Construction Permits in Davie

Local Rule

Town of Davie Building Division

The Towns own General Information page states that a permit is required for the construction, alteration, repair, moving or demolition of any building or structure, with no size-based deck exemption identified on the citys own site. Davie sits inside Broward Countys High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, administered under the Broward County Administrative Chapter of the Florida Building Code, where each trade discipline in the Building Division operates under a designated Chief. Projects with an estimated value over $5,000 require a recorded Notice of Commencement posted at the job site before the first inspection, which occurs no sooner than 7 days after permit issuance.
