Pinellas County General Building / Addition-Remodel Permit Timeline
Beta estimate from published county-level data — not yet from live Cleard pipeline data for Pinellas County specifically.
Why a general building / addition-remodel permit takes 18–24 days in Pinellas County
Pinellas County publishes a live public "Building Permit Review Times & Activity" dashboard, updated regularly with current average review times by permit type, and review has been documented as holding steady at 3–4 weeks. St. Petersburg and Clearwater each run their own municipal building departments, separate from the county-level process.
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.
