Permitting in the Florida Keys
Building allocations
Because the Keys are an Area of Critical State Concern with hurricane-evacuation limits, new residential units need an allocation. Monroe County uses ROGO and Islamorada uses BPAS. Allocations are scarce and competitive.
Flood rules and separate jurisdictions
Almost every project touches floodplain management, including the 50% substantial-improvement rule and elevation certificates. Unincorporated Monroe, Marathon, Islamorada and Key West each run their own building department and portal.
Unincorporated Monroe County
OPAL online permitting, agent authorization, digital signatures, ROGO allocations and floodplain review.
Marathon
ViewPoint Cloud submittals, tight inspection scheduling rules and Planning coordination for new development.
Islamorada
An electronic-only CityView portal, very limited BPAS allocations for new homes, and strict floodplain rules.
