Single family residence

Unincorporated Volusia County
Single family residences are permitted one structure with one or two boat slips. A building permit is required for the structure and must be obtained prior to beginning of construction (link to permit center web page). As part of the building permit review process, Environmental Management (EM) will visit the site and determine whether the manatee mitigation fee applies. If this is a new structure, a one time mitigation fee of $397.35 will be required.  Upon payment of the fee to Volusia County, EM will issue a Letter of Compliance. Only upon receipt of both the building permit and the Letter of Compliance may work commence.
