Foundation work in Tamarac
Tamarac's Schedule of Permit Fees, Exhibit A (R-2021-137), effective 01/01/22, prints item 18 under Building Permit Fees as House Foundation Repair / Piling at $273.00. Single-family additions with all disciplines and no roof are $1,211.00 for 1 to 1,500 sq. ft. and $1,535.00 above that. The schedule is dated. It still cites Broward County's amendments to the 7th Edition (2020) code, while the Building Code Information page names the 8th Edition (2023) as current since December 31, 2023.
Broward keeps the local amendments, and the city enforces them. Building Department staff work from the first floor at 6011 Nob Hill Road, (954) 597-3420, from 7:30 to 4:30 Monday through Thursday and 7:30 to 3:30 on Friday. Plan review runs 7:30 to 8:00 and 2:30 to 4:00 Monday through Thursday, with Fast Track Thursday from 1:30 to 3:30. Permits go through ePermits, and a city permit doesn't confirm homeowner or condominium association approval.
In an emergency needing immediate repairs, the schedule lets a person proceed if the permit application and fees follow on the first succeeding business day. Census estimates give Tamarac a 1981 median year built. The $273.00 line is the one price Tamarac prints for foundation repair, and it dates from 01/01/22.

Permits for foundation repair work in Tamarac
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.
