Permitting and planning offices to close early in April

Posted On: March 31, 2023

Volusia County’s Building and Code Administration, Environmental Management, and Planning and Development divisions will be open for walk-ins from 8 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. weekdays from April 3 – 28 at the Thomas C. Kelly Administration Building, 123 W. Indiana Ave., DeLand. The decision to move the closing time up 90 minutes was made to accommodate the significant influx of permit requests and ensure they are processed quickly.

“Since the hurricanes, our offices have experienced an unprecedented number of permit requests from residents seeking to restore their property,” said Growth and Resource Management Director Clay Ervin. “With the 2023 hurricane season quickly approaching, we’re finding methods to give our team the time they need to focus solely on processing permits.”

Residents and contractors may submit permit applications and other pertinent documentation on the county’s website. Additionally, if someone needs to visit an office in person after 3:30 p.m., an accommodation can be made by calling 386-822-5013.
