Palm Beach County General Building / Addition-Remodel Permit Timeline
Beta estimate from published county-level data — not yet from live Cleard pipeline data for Palm Beach County specifically.
Why a general building / addition-remodel permit takes 21–34 days in Palm Beach County
Cities within the county — West Palm Beach, Boca Raton, Jupiter — handle their own permitting separately from the county-level department. Confirming the correct jurisdiction before applying prevents delays from submitting to the wrong department.
What reviewers check on a general building / addition-remodel submittal
Additions and remodels get structural review and zoning/setback review layered together, so the plan set has to satisfy two reviewers whose comments arrive independently — a setback correction can restart drawings that already cleared structural.
