Press Release from the City of St. Pete Beach 10/4/2024
The St. Pete Beach Community Development Department (CDD) is committed to providing exceptional and timely service to residents and businesses whose properties were impacted by Hurricane Helene.
It is currently estimated that thousands of homes and businesses will need varying levels of repair or rebuilding. Community members are also facing heightened public health risks, including water contamination, mold growth, and increasing incidents of carbon monoxide poisoning due to improper generator use.

Specifically, the CDD will provide residents and businesses with expanded service hours, expedited permitting, limited mobile permitting, and an increased presence of code enforcement on weekends to protect and inform residents and businesses of the potential for unfair, illegal, and dangerous activities.
Permit technicians and a building official will be staffed at the permit desk, located at 155 Corey Avenue, during all hours of operation. A Mobile Permit Technician will be able to print permits on-site.
Effective October 7, 2024, through November 2, 2024, the hours of operation are as follows:
