How do I get a kitchen remodel permit in Greenacres?
The City of Greenacres runs its own Building Division out of City Hall at 5800 Melaleuca Lane, separate from unincorporated Palm Beach County, with an ePermit portal for applications, plan review and inspection scheduling. A licensed contractor must hold the permit and be present at final inspection; we submit and track every Greenacres kitchen remodel through that same ePermit portal.
Does a Greenacres kitchen remodel need a wind-rated window or door?
If the remodel touches the exterior envelope — a new or resized kitchen window, an exterior door, or any structural tie-in — yes. Greenacres is inland and western, sitting in the Florida Building Code's Wind-Borne Debris Region at roughly 160 mph ultimate design wind speed, lower than the county's 170 mph coastal band, but still requiring a Florida Product Approval matched to that rating.
Does a kitchen remodel in Covered Bridge or Palm Beach Villas need HOA approval?
Only if it changes the exterior. A kitchen remodel that stays inside the existing footprint — cabinets, counters, interior layout — is not subject to HOA architectural review in Covered Bridge, Palm Beach Villas or the city's other governed communities. If the project expands the footprint or swaps exterior windows or doors, that goes through both the City ePermit process AND the HOA architectural-review board in those communities. We scope every remodel against that distinction before we draw up a permit set.
