Foundation work in Boynton Beach
Boynton Beach's Post Storm Permitting page says structural repairs to walls, trusses, balconies and floors need a permit. Debris removal, minor cosmetic repairs and temporary tarping don't. A contractor holding a Florida license may start emergency repairs but has to apply for the permit the next business day, under BBA 105.2.1, and applications go through SagesGov or in person at 100 E. Ocean Ave. On City Hall's first floor, the Building Department answers at 561-742-6000.
Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday run 8 am to 4 pm, Wednesday runs 9 am to 4 pm, and from 4 pm to 5 pm it takes inquiries only. A help desk handles SagesGov questions by phone or face to face. Only a Planning & Zoning fee schedule is posted, so no building fee row is shown, and no code edition appears either. The state's $7,500 exemption, s. 553.79(1)(g), doesn't cover structural work or property partly or entirely in a flood hazard area.
FEMA's AE and VE zones touch the Boynton Beach boundary. ACS estimates show 40.0% of housing units built 1950-1979 and a 1984 median year built. State law counts a foundation as a structural component, but the city's list names walls, trusses, balconies and floors and never foundations, so whether a foundation repair needs its own permit is a question for the Building Department.

Permits for foundation repair work in Boynton Beach
DBPR has no foundation repair license category, so the permit rules come from your city or county. Florida requires a permit to repair a building, the $7,500 small-job exemption leaves out structural work, and Tampa has its own Foundation Stabilization permit with sealed plans and engineering reports, so ask the building office for your address what your job needs.
