Remodeling in Davie
Kitchens, bathrooms, tile, flooring, drywall and painting across Davie and Broward County — with the permit route and the association rules handled as part of the schedule rather than discovered halfway through.
Permits and approvals in Davie
Davie enforces the Florida Building Code as amended and states the rule without carve-outs: it is unlawful to construct, enlarge, alter, repair, move or demolish any building or part of one, or to install or alter any regulated equipment, without first filing an application and obtaining a permit from the Building Official. Asked directly whether renovating a home needs a permit, the Town answers that all provisions of the Florida Building Code, permit requirements included, apply to residential renovation. Like Plantation, Davie publishes no exempt-work list of any kind — so on an interior job here the honest answer is that the Town has not said anything is exempt, and we plan for a permit. Interior work runs through the Town's Residential Interior/Exterior Alteration Checklist, which routes the application through five reviews (Planning & Zoning, Structural, Electrical, Plumbing, Mechanical) and asks for a signed and sealed plan set plus the standards for every fixture, faucet and diverter.
Paper and email submittals stopped being accepted on 12 January 2026 — everything now goes through OAS, the Town's Avolve portal, with plan review in ProjectDox and permit status and inspections in eSuite. The counter runs Monday to Thursday, 7:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., and is closed Fridays. The Town publishes a 30-working-day plan-review target, and inspections are booked on the automated line at 954-797-1128, with requests in before 4:30 p.m. scheduled for the next business day.
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.

What we do in Davie
Frequently asked questions
- Do I need a permit to remodel a kitchen or bathroom in Davie?
- Davie enforces the Florida Building Code as amended and states the rule without carve-outs: it is unlawful to construct, enlarge, alter, repair, move or demolish any building or part of one, or to install or alter any regulated equipment, without first filing an application and obtaining a permit from the Building Official.

- Anything specific to Davie I should know?
- Paper and email submittals stopped being accepted on 12 January 2026 — everything now goes through OAS, the Town's Avolve portal, with plan review in ProjectDox and permit status and inspections in eSuite. The counter runs Monday to Thursday, 7:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., and is closed Fridays.

- Who issues the permit for work in Davie?
- Town of Davie — Building Division, at 8800 SW 36th Street, Building A, Davie FL 33328, 954-797-1111. 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 Davie?
- Davie is in Broward County, which together with Miami-Dade makes up the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone under Chapter 44 of the Florida Building Code, Residential. In practice that means any window or exterior door in the project has to carry a current Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance, and design wind pressures are calculated to the HVHZ standard. Interior-only work is unaffected, but the moment a project touches an opening it changes what can be specified.
- My Davie house is from the 1970s — what should I expect?
- The median home in Davie was built in 1989, so this is the common case rather than the exception. Two things turn up often enough that we look for them before quoting: cast iron drain lines, which were standard here before about 1975 and typically fail somewhere between forty and sixty years, and electrical that was sized for a very different kitchen. Finding either at the estimate is a conversation; finding it after demolition is a change order.
