Remodeling in Sarasota: What to Know
Sarasota projects range from renovating mid-century homes near the bays and keys to kitchen and bath updates in newer communities. Your address decides whether the City or Sarasota County issues the permit, and coastal homes often fall under flood-zone and 50% rule limits.
Permits and the 50% Rule
Permits are issued by the City of Sarasota Development Services Department (in city limits) or Sarasota County (unincorporated Sarasota). If your home is in a FEMA flood zone below the required elevation, projects that cost 50% or more of the structure value generally require bringing the whole home up to current flood rules. Screen your project with our 50% rule calculator, or let us handle it through our permitting and consulting service.

Sarasota Remodeling FAQ
Do I need a permit to remodel in Sarasota?
Most structural, electrical, plumbing, mechanical, window, roof and addition work needs a permit from the City of Sarasota Development Services Department (in city limits) or Sarasota County (unincorporated Sarasota). Cosmetic work like paint and flooring usually does not.
How long does a home addition take?
Most additions take about 4 to 8 months including design and permitting, depending on size and permit review times.
Do you do kitchen and bathroom remodels?
Yes. We handle kitchen and bathroom remodels from design through final inspection.
Does the 50% rule apply to my remodel?
Only if the home is in a FEMA flood zone below the required elevation. Then projects costing 50% or more of the structure value generally require full flood compliance.
