Do I need a Village permit for a bathroom remodel in Royal Palm Beach?
Yes, in most cases. Royal Palm Beach is an incorporated village, chartered in 1959, with its own Building Division at Village Hall, 1050 Royal Palm Beach Boulevard, offering e-permitting, separate from the county and neighboring Wellington. A bathroom remodel that touches plumbing rough-in, electrical, venting, or any exterior wall — a window resize, a new exhaust penetration — needs a Village permit; 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 Royal Palm Beach?
Only for changes visible from the exterior. Interior-only bathroom work generally doesn't trigger HOA review in the Colony, The Willows, La Mancha, Counterpoint Estates, Crestwood, or Saratoga Pines. But any change visible from outside — a new window, a bump-out, an exhaust vent relocation — does, and Madison Green plus the newer gated communities (Victoria Grove, Portosol, Bella Terra, Nautica) run architectural-review requirements for exactly that. We confirm which side of that line applies before we permit.
What does a full bathroom gut typically involve in a 1960s-80s Colony or Willows-era home?
Those sections were built out from the 1960s through the 1980s, so a large share of those bathrooms are still on original plumbing and venting. A full gut usually means new supply and drain lines, a new waterproofing system under the tile, updated exhaust ventilation, and current electrical protection — the parts you can't see matter more than the vanity.

Are you licensed to remodel bathrooms in Royal Palm Beach?
Yes. Bell Engineering and Construction Corporation holds Florida Certified General Contractor license CGC1528750 — a statewide license, not a local registration — is an EPA Lead-Safe Certified Firm (#NAT-F122701-2), is BBB A+ accredited, and holds a Royal Palm Beach Local Business Tax Receipt.
Do you handle the Village permitting paperwork for a bathroom remodel end-to-end?
Yes. We submit through Royal Palm Beach's e-permitting system, coordinate HOA architectural-review approval where the scope requires it in Madison Green or another gated community, and carry the job through every rough and final inspection.
