Remodeling in Palm Springs
Kitchens, bathrooms, tile, flooring, drywall and painting across Palm Springs 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 Palm Springs
Palm Springs runs its own permitting authority rather than deferring to the county, and the Village has adopted the 2023 (8th Edition) Florida Building Code, so permit requirements follow Section 105 of that code. One local rule catches people out: the Village requires every building permit application to be notarized by both the owner and the contractor, with no dollar threshold below which that step is waived. And unlike several neighbouring cities, the Village does not publish a list of interior work exempt from permitting — so on a kitchen, bathroom, flooring, drywall, cabinetry or tile job here we confirm the scope with the department before anything starts, rather than assuming an exemption that is not written down.
The counter at 226 Cypress Lane is open Monday to Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m., and takes no new submittals after 2:00 p.m. Applications and permit status run through the Village's own portal at h9.maintstar.co/palmsprings.
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 Palm Springs
Frequently asked questions
- Do I need a permit to remodel a kitchen or bathroom in Palm Springs?
- Palm Springs runs its own permitting authority rather than deferring to the county, and the Village has adopted the 2023 (8th Edition) Florida Building Code, so permit requirements follow Section 105 of that code. One local rule catches people out: the Village requires every building permit application to be notarized by both the owner and the contractor, with no dollar threshold below which that step is waived. And unlike several neighbouring cities, the Village does not publish a list of interior work exempt from permitting — so on a kitchen, bathroom, flooring, drywall, cabinetry or tile job here we confirm the scope with the department before anything starts, rather than assuming an exemption that is not written down.
- Anything specific to Palm Springs I should know?
- The counter at 226 Cypress Lane is open Monday to Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m., and takes no new submittals after 2:00 p.m. Applications and permit status run through the Village's own portal at h9.maintstar.co/palmsprings.
- Who issues the permit for work in Palm Springs?
- Village of Palm Springs — Planning, Zoning & Building Department, at 226 Cypress Lane, Palm Springs FL 33461, 561-584-8200. 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 Palm Springs?
- Palm Springs 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.
- My Palm Springs house is from the 1970s — what should I expect?
- The median home in Palm Springs was built in 1978, 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.
