How do I get a kitchen remodel permit in The Acreage?
The Acreage is unincorporated Palm Beach County — there is no separate Village or Town of The Acreage building department. Permits go through the county's Planning, Zoning & Building Division at 2300 North Jog Road in West Palm Beach, or online through the county's ePZB portal. A licensed contractor must hold the permit and be present at final inspection. We pull the county permit, submit the Florida Product Approval numbers for any window or door the remodel touches, and carry the job through final inspection.
Does a new kitchen window need to meet a wind rating in The Acreage?
Yes. The county's wind-speed maps place this inland part of Palm Beach County generally around the 140 mph design-wind-speed band — noticeably below the higher bands mapped closer to the coast. A kitchen remodel that touches the wall over the sink moves a window opening too, so we confirm the exact contour for your parcel before we ever quote that window line.
Is there an HOA or architectural review board I need to clear for a kitchen remodel in The Acreage?
No — and that's genuinely different from a planned community like Wellington or Palm Beach Gardens. Most of The Acreage is large-lot, agricultural-residential (AR) zoned country rather than a deed-restricted subdivision, so there is no architectural review committee to clear for a kitchen remodel here. The Indian Trail Improvement District (ITID) governs roads, canals and drainage as a special taxing district — it is not a homeowners' association and does not review paint colors, cabinet finishes or window styles.
Are you licensed to remodel kitchens in The Acreage?
Yes. Bell Engineering and Construction Corporation holds Florida Certified General Contractor license CGC1528750 — a STATE certification, meaning we may legally contract in any Florida county, The Acreage included, with no additional local licensure — plus EPA Lead-Safe Certified Firm registration #NAT-F122701-2 and BBB A+ accreditation. We also hold a Palm Beach County Business Tax Receipt, which is the correct receipt for unincorporated county work like The Acreage — there is no separate "Acreage" business tax receipt to hold.
What corridors and communities do you serve in The Acreage?
The Acreage has no platted subdivision names — it's large-lot ranchette country, and we say so honestly rather than inventing neighborhood branding. Residents orient by the Indian Trail Improvement District's road and canal grid: corridors like Persimmon Boulevard, 60th Street North, and Orange Boulevard. ITID also runs Acreage Community Park, the district's shared recreation hub.
Do you offer financing for a kitchen remodel in The Acreage?
