About The Licenses

The Building Sector processes every building license for projects situated within the city boundary of DeLand. For projects in the exempted Volusia County, the license will be gotten from the Building Division in Volusia County. For additional inquiries on properties situated in the county or city, visit the website of the Property Appraiser.

It is advisable to obtain licenses for every project that would be carried out on your property. Licenses are important to be in line with insurance demands and safeguard the safety, welfare, and health of residents. Any project carried out without getting the required license could cause complexities when putting the property for sale, which includes difficulty in the property sale until the structure complies with the recent statutes and building laws of the city, apart from the possibility of incurring a financial penalty for carrying out a project without a license.

Note:

Recent commercial projects, such as additions are expected to provide a county impact fee application together with a floor plan document to the Permit Center at Volusia County for the estimation of the County transportation impact fees. Impact fees of Volusia County can be postponed until the project completion. Until the required fees have been completely paid, the Certificate of Occupancy will not be provided. More information can be gotten by calling Ext.12097 phone: 386-736-6929.
