Remodeling in Boca Raton
Kitchens, bathrooms, tile, flooring, drywall and painting across Boca Raton and Palm Beach County — with the permit route and the association rules handled as part of the schedule rather than discovered halfway through.
Permits and approvals in Boca Raton
Boca runs two systems: applications, fees, status and inspections go through Boca eHub, and plans are submitted separately through Boca ePlans. The city does not publish an exemption list, so scope is confirmed with Development Services rather than assumed.
Association architectural review is close to universal here and, in the coastal buildings, comes with rules on work hours, elevator access and floor soundproofing.
Boca Raton is the one city in this service area that sits outside the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone. It is still in the Wind-Borne Debris Region, so impact-rated products are required, but not the specific HVHZ product approvals that Broward enforces. That distinction matters as soon as a project touches a window or an exterior door.
The rules that apply across the whole service area — the county permit application, the hurricane code and the condominium requirements — are set out on the service areas page rather than repeated here.

- Do I need a permit to remodel a kitchen or bathroom in Boca Raton?
- Boca runs two systems: applications, fees, status and inspections go through Boca eHub, and plans are submitted separately through Boca ePlans. The city does not publish an exemption list, so scope is confirmed with Development Services rather than assumed.
- What does my condo or HOA need to approve in Boca Raton?
- Association architectural review is close to universal here and, in the coastal buildings, comes with rules on work hours, elevator access and floor soundproofing.
- Anything specific to Boca Raton I should know?
- Boca Raton is the one city in this service area that sits outside the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone. It is still in the Wind-Borne Debris Region, so impact-rated products are required, but not the specific HVHZ product approvals that Broward enforces. That distinction matters as soon as a project touches a window or an exterior door.
- Who issues the permit for work in Boca Raton?
- City of Boca Raton — Development Services Department, at 200 NW 2nd Avenue, Boca Raton FL 33432, 561-393-7789. Every municipality in this service area runs its own building department with its own requirements, which is why we confirm scope with the right one before quoting rather than assuming the county rule applies.
- Does the hurricane code change the job in Boca Raton?
- Boca Raton sits in Palm Beach County, which is outside the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone — that zone is Broward and Miami-Dade only. It is still a Wind-Borne Debris Region, so impact-rated windows and doors are required, but not the specific HVHZ product approvals enforced a few miles south. It is a real difference in what can be specified, and it is worth knowing before you buy a window.
