Permits and local rules
Cleanup itself does not usually need a permit, but the repairs that follow often do. Inside the city of Jupiter, larger drywall, electrical and plumbing repairs can require permits from the Town of Jupiter Building Department. Homes in other cities, such as Tequesta, Juno Beach or Palm Beach Gardens, follow the rules of that city or county.
Florida does not license water damage restoration companies as a separate trade, but mold assessment and remediation need a state license from the Department of Business and Professional Regulation, and repairs need licensed contractors.
