Florida guides / City vs county

Inside a city limit? The city permits, not the county.

In Florida, zoning, setbacks and the permit process are reserved to the local authority, and that can be a city, not the county. If your parcel falls inside an incorporated city, the city's code governs the manufactured-home permit, and some cities restrict or zone out manufactured homes entirely. A county guide can give the wrong answer for a city parcel. Piermits checks the jurisdiction first.

Piermits detects whether the address is inside a city limit and routes to the right jurisdiction, so the packet is built against the rules that actually apply.

Source: Fla. Stat. 553.38 / 723; Florida AG opinions on manufactured-home zoning. City-specific setbacks vary by ordinance; confirm with the city before relying on county numbers.

Not sure if your lot is city or county?

Bring the address. Piermits checks the jurisdiction, the zoning and the setbacks before anything is filed.
