Foundation work in Pine Hills
Orange County's Storm Repair and Permit Information page lists structural repairs among those that need permits, and names painting, flooring, drywall patching, glass replacement in existing frames and temporary tarps or boarding as ones that don't. As a Census-designated place, Pine Hills is permitted by the county's Division of Building Safety, although the county's pages never mention it. Orange County's Administration Center, 1st Floor, 201 S. Rosalind Ave., Orlando, houses Permitting Services, (407) 836-5550.
The FY 2026-2027 Fee Directory has no stand-alone residential foundation or structural-repair row. The directory's Miscellaneous item (C) bills commercial fences, foundations and other unlisted construction by contractor's valuation at the commercial rate, $26.00 for the first $1,000 and $5.00 for each additional $1,000. That item is worded for commercial work. It may not reach a house. Permit applications need a Fast Track account, and a homeowner seeking an owner-builder permit completes a verification meeting by video conference.
Orange County follows the current Florida Building Code, the National Electrical Code and its own ordinances, and prints no edition year. Pine Hills' Census median year built is 1980. Pine Hills owners need an Orange County permit for a structural repair, but the directory prints no residential fee row for one.

Permits for foundation repair work in Pine Hills
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.
