How Palm Beach Permitting Works
Board approvals first
ARCOM reviews design, the Landmarks Preservation Commission reviews landmarked properties, and Town Council hears variances. First submittals are due about 9 weeks before the hearing.
Season rules, Nov 1 to Apr 30
No demolition and no jackhammers, pile drivers or other heavy machinery in season. On Worth Avenue, construction is allowed only May through October.
Strict work hours
In season, work is weekdays only, with no work around Thanksgiving or from Christmas Eve through New Year's Day.
Staging plans and time limits
Major ARCOM or Landmarks projects need a staging and truck logistics plan, and major projects have a maximum build time based on square footage.
EPL portal
Applications and inspections run through the Town's EPL portal. Open permits in the old Eden system need a new EPL permit to close out.
How we help in Palm Beach
We map your project to the board calendar and the season before design is final, prepare ARCOM and Landmarks submittals, and handle EPL permitting through final inspection.
