Permits for foundation repair work in Pembroke Pines
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.
