One of the biggest complaints from residents has been the permitting process and how cumbersome its become for them to get the permits they need to rebuild. A town press release states that, “the intent of this extension of hours is to provide higher levels of service and speed to storm-damage related permitting. During this extended schedule, customers will have access to Community Development staff for permitting assistance by email, telephone, and in-person at the Town Hall Complex.”
To reach the Permitting Department, email buildingpermits@fmbgov.com or call 239-765-0202 Option #2.
An extensive list of frequently asked questions about permitting is available on the Building Services webpage which is a great place to start to get questions answered.
