Do I need a City permit for a bathroom remodel in Greenacres?
Yes, in most cases. Greenacres runs its own Development & Neighborhood Services / Building Division out of City Hall at 5800 Melaleuca Lane, with an ePermit portal for applications, plan review and inspection scheduling, separate from unincorporated Palm Beach County. A bathroom remodel that touches plumbing rough-in, electrical, venting, or any exterior wall — a window resize, a new exhaust penetration — needs a City permit filed through that portal, and a licensed contractor must hold it and be present at final inspection. A like-for-like vanity or fixture swap generally does not.
Do I need HOA approval for a bathroom remodel in Greenacres?
It depends which section of the city you're in. Cresthaven, Lucerne Lakes, Lucerne Park, Sherwood Lakes and Springhill are older, built out between 1970 and 1999 as concrete block homes, and generally carry no HOA architectural-review layer over an exterior change. Covered Bridge, Palm Beach Villas, Royal Palm Estates and Pawleys Plantation Golf & Country Club, by contrast, are condos, villas and townhomes where the HOA or condo board must sign off on a resized bathroom window or a new exterior vent before the City will permit it. We confirm which side of that line your address falls on before we permit.
What wind-load standard applies to a new bathroom window in Greenacres?
Greenacres sits a few miles inland, generally outside the Florida Building Code's Wind-Borne Debris Region, but the Code still requires wind-resistant construction countywide — a new or resized bathroom window or exhaust-vent opening still needs a product carrying a valid Florida Product Approval, even without the coastal debris-impact requirement. We confirm the correct rating for your specific address before we quote.
Are you licensed to remodel bathrooms in Greenacres?
Yes. Randolph Scott Bell holds Florida STATE-CERTIFIED General Contractor license CGC1528750 — a certification, not a local registration, meaning he may contract in any Florida county without additional local licensure. Bell Engineering and Construction Corporation is also an EPA Lead-Safe Certified Firm (#NAT-F122701-2) and BBB A+ accredited. We hold the Palm Beach County Business Tax Receipt; there is no Greenacres-specific municipal receipt on our confirmed list, and we say so plainly rather than claim one.
Have you completed bathroom remodels in Greenacres before?
There's no confirmed named project in Greenacres on our project-to-city ledger yet, for any service, and we won't invent one to fill this page. For bathroom remodeling specifically, we lead with the credential stack: Florida STATE-CERTIFIED General Contractor license CGC1528750, EPA Lead-Safe Certified Firm #NAT-F122701-2, BBB A+ accreditation, and the Palm Beach County Business Tax Receipt that covers Greenacres.
