Building in Monroe County: What to Know
New residential construction in the Keys is limited by Monroe County’s Rate of Growth Ordinance (ROGO) and similar city allocation systems, so a buildable lot may also need a building allocation. We help owners understand where their lot stands before design.
Nearly all of the Keys are in high-risk coastal flood zones, so homes are elevated on engineered foundations, and Hurricane Irma in 2017 showed how important concrete construction and impact protection are.
Stronger, More Efficient Homes
We build with insulated concrete forms, structural insulated panels and 3D-printed concrete. Every home is engineered to the Florida Building Code wind requirements for its location and elevated where flood rules require.
Monroe County FAQ
Can you replace a storm-damaged home in the Keys?
Often, yes. Rebuilding an existing permitted home may be treated differently than new construction under allocation rules. We’ll review your property’s history and options.
Do you handle permits in Monroe County?
Yes. We prepare and submit permits with Monroe County or the cities of Key West, Marathon, Islamorada, Key Colony Beach or Layton and schedule every inspection through final.
Can I build on a lot I already own?
Yes. Send us the address and we’ll review zoning, flood zone, utilities and access before you pay for design. Don’t have land yet? We can help you find a lot, or see We Buy Land if you’re selling.
