Do I need a City permit for a whole-home remodel in Boynton Beach?
Yes, for anything structural, electrical, plumbing, mechanical, or touching the building envelope. Boynton Beach is an incorporated city with its own Building Department at City Hall, 100 E. Ocean Avenue, separate from unincorporated Palm Beach County. Since May 2021 every application goes through the City's SagesGov e-permitting platform, and building permit review typically runs 15 to 20 days. A licensed contractor must hold the permit and be present at final inspection.
What wind rating applies to a Boynton Beach whole-home remodel?
Boynton Beach carries a Florida Building Code ultimate design wind speed of roughly 170 mph, squarely inside the Wind-Borne Debris Region — meaningfully higher than the roughly 140-160 mph inland baseline to the north. Structural and envelope work during a whole-home remodel — additions, new openings, roof tie-ins — has to meet that wind-load bracing at permit review, and any window, door or roofing product carries a Florida Product Approval rated to that standard.
Does Leisureville, Hunters Run or Quail Ridge require separate approval for a home remodel?
Yes, in most cases. Leisureville — begun in 1969 and home to thousands of units around canals and a golf course — Hunters Run, and Quail Ridge each run their own architectural review board governing exterior work, material and color; sign-off is typically needed before the City permit is worth filing. The older beachside and Intracoastal enclaves east of Federal Highway generally don't run that same exterior review. We confirm which side of that line your address falls on before we finalize a design.
What Boynton Beach neighborhoods do you remodel in?
All of them — Leisureville, Hunters Run, Quail Ridge, the older beachside and Intracoastal enclaves east of Federal Highway, the mid-century core around Ocean Avenue, and the newer West Boynton suburbs off Boynton Beach Boulevard and Lawrence Road.
Are you licensed for whole-home remodeling in Boynton Beach?
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 Boynton Beach municipal receipt on our confirmed list, and we won't claim one.
