Concierge Service Makes Permitting and Codes Easier to Navigate
Posted On: May 15, 2025
In just one year, Volusia County’s Permit and Code Concierge Service has helped 334 residents and businesses navigate the process and move their projects forward.
Serving as a single point of contact, Concierge Liaison Ricardi Calixte guides residents through permitting and code compliance processes, helping avoid confusion and delays. Whether you’re developing, expanding, or modifying property in unincorporated Volusia County, Calixte can help simplify the steps and connect you with the right resources.
He also helps those seeking assistance with a variety of other County services and processes, including:
- Planning, land development, and land modification projects
- Building, construction, pool, and fence permits
- Fire code requirements
- Water, wastewater, and utility connections
- Waste management services
- Transportation infrastructure projects
The on-demand Permit and Code Concierge Service is offered free of charge by Volusia County’s Division of Economic Development to foster a more efficient, expedient, and convenient way in which the public can engage with their local government. Calixte attributes the success of the program to the collaborative efforts with staff at the Growth and Resource Management Department, which oversees permitting and code compliance.
“Since its launch one year ago, the Permit and Code Concierge Service has become a reliable and much appreciated resource for Volusia County residents and businesses,” said Economic Development Director Lou Paris. “This service reflects the County’s commitment to making government services more accessible, transparent, and responsive to the needs of our community.”
