Before ground work starts in Palm Beach County, the questions are the same: how high is the water, which office permits it and who has to sign off first. These eight town pages answer them, one local fact each.
Boynton Beach: does the east side dig like the west?
The question it answers: Raising, leveling or digging a lot that sits on very different ground depending on the side of town.
The local fact that makes it worth a click: Boynton Beach runs from the Intracoastal and the coastal ridge in the east to flatter, wetter subdivisions out toward Lawrence Road and Boynton Beach Boulevard, and older streets and 55+ communities add an access problem of gates and narrow side yards.

Delray Beach: why does a few inches decide whether the slab stays dry?
The question it answers: Raising a low lot above standing water and grading a pad to drain.
The local fact that makes it worth a click: Delray Beach sits near the Atlantic Coastal Ridge on sand over limestone with a shallow water table, so lots tend to be a little too low or level on paper and tilted toward the neighbour in practice. Fill dirt and excavation in Delray Beach →
Greenacres: what do we quote for fill, and what do we not?
The question it answers: Fill dirt cost on flat, sandy ground a few miles inland.
The local fact that makes it worth a click: We publish the machine rate and not a per-yard or per-ton price for material, because the fill is delivered by the load and priced by whoever supplies it, and the page gives a rule of thumb for how many cubic yards a raised pad takes.

Lake Worth: why does flat ground need a slope?
The question it answers: Shaping a low corner, a pad or a drain run on ground with nowhere for water to go.
The local fact that makes it worth a click: The city of Lake Worth Beach sits between the Intracoastal and Dixie Highway and the neighbourhoods running west toward Military Trail are barely higher, so water leaves a lot only if the lot is shaped to send it. Fill dirt and excavation in Lake Worth →
Palm Beach Gardens: what did the 1959 plan leave under the lot?
The question it answers: Raising and grading a parcel in a planned garden city.
The local fact that makes it worth a click: Palm Beach Gardens was laid out in 1959 as a planned garden city, with lakes and waterways dug and the spoil shaped into contoured terrain before most houses went up, and mature trees and community rules decide how the machine gets in.

Palm Springs: does free fill exist?
The question it answers: What fill costs on low ground in the Lake Worth corridor.
The local fact that makes it worth a click: Palm Springs is low, flat ground with the wet-season water table close to the surface, and we do not advertise free fill: material is priced by the supplier, and what we charge for is the machine and operator that place it. Fill dirt and excavation in Palm Springs →
Loxahatchee: which of several offices governs the lot?
The question it answers: Clearing an acre lot that carries a Loxahatchee mailing address.
The local fact that makes it worth a click: Loxahatchee is a mailing address, not one jurisdiction: most of it, including The Acreage, is unincorporated Palm Beach County, while the Town of Loxahatchee Groves runs its own permitting and the City of Westlake has its own building department, and the Indian Trail Improvement District needs to approve a culvert crossing over the front swale.

West Palm Beach: who permits the clearing in the county seat?
The question it answers: Clearing a city lot inside the City's rules.
The local fact that makes it worth a click: West Palm Beach runs its own Development Services Department with permits through the EPL platform and Civic Access portal, and El Cid, Flamingo Park, Old Northwood and Southland Park are designated historic districts where the Historic Preservation Board reviews exterior changes.
