Florida's exemption for work valued under $7,500 doesn't extend to structural work (s. 553.79(1)(g)). Fees revised under Resolution 2025-96, effective 8/5/2025, sit in calculators that print no dollar amounts. Its over-the-counter flat fee list has no foundation or structural repair line either.

Permits for foundation repair work in Fort Myers
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.
