Remodeling in Pompano Beach
Kitchens, bathrooms, tile, flooring, drywall and painting across Pompano Beach 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 Pompano Beach
The city's own kitchen and bath checklist is explicit: the installation, alteration or major repair of a kitchen or bathroom requires a permit. It is not one permit either — Pompano wants separate Broward County Uniform Permit Applications for structural, plumbing and electrical work, plus a mechanical application if you are adding a vented hood or a bath exhaust fan. A recirculating hood has to appear on the plans but needs no mechanical permit.
Outside a single-family home, an association approval letter is part of the permit package, not a courtesy — the city will not issue without it. Second floor and above also needs a sound barrier test report meeting STC 50 and IIC 50.
A Notice of Commencement is required once the contract price passes $2,500, which covers essentially every kitchen or bathroom project.
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.

Frequently asked questions
- Do I need a permit to remodel a kitchen or bathroom in Pompano Beach?
- The city's own kitchen and bath checklist is explicit: the installation, alteration or major repair of a kitchen or bathroom requires a permit. It is not one permit either — Pompano wants separate Broward County Uniform Permit Applications for structural, plumbing and electrical work, plus a mechanical application if you are adding a vented hood or a bath exhaust fan. A recirculating hood has to appear on the plans but needs no mechanical permit.
- What does my condo or HOA need to approve in Pompano Beach?
- Outside a single-family home, an association approval letter is part of the permit package, not a courtesy — the city will not issue without it. Second floor and above also needs a sound barrier test report meeting STC 50 and IIC 50.
- Anything specific to Pompano Beach I should know?
- A Notice of Commencement is required once the contract price passes $2,500, which covers essentially every kitchen or bathroom project.
- Who issues the permit for work in Pompano Beach?
- City of Pompano Beach — Department of Development Services, Building Inspections Division, at 100 W. Atlantic Blvd, Pompano Beach FL 33060, 954-786-4669. 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 Pompano Beach?
- Pompano Beach is in Broward County, which together with Miami-Dade makes up the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone under Chapter 44 of the Florida Building Code. 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 Pompano Beach house is from the 1970s — what should I expect?
- The median home in Pompano Beach was built in 1974, 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.
