About Remodeling in Palm Beach
Palm Beach is a town of owner-occupied condos and older houses. Census estimates show 84% of occupied homes are owner-occupied, 60% of housing units are in buildings of 20 or more units and half of owner-occupied homes, 50%, are in those buildings, while 26% of units are detached houses. Its housing is much older than the Palm Beach County median of 1986: the median year built is 1970 and 12% of units date from 1939 or earlier. Goodhaus is free and does not perform the work.

Local Background
Good to Know About Palm Beach
General background about the area, for information only. It is not professional advice.
Condominium buildings
Under Florida's condominium statute, a material alteration of the common elements needs the declaration's procedure, or a 75 percent vote of the voting interests if the declaration sets none.
Older houses
70% of units were built before 1980; the federal EPA rule requires anyone paid to disturb painted surfaces in a home built before 1978 to be certified in lead-safe work practices.
Local amendments
Florida has one statewide building code, and a local government may adopt technical amendments that are more stringent, so ask contractors which local rules apply to your project.

Questions
Palm Beach FAQs
Does my condo association have to approve the remodel?
Check the declaration and rules; Florida's condominium statute requires the declaration's procedure, or a 75 percent vote of the voting interests if it sets none, for material alterations of the common elements.
What should the final payment include?
When the final payment under a direct contract is due, a Florida contractor must give the owner a final payment affidavit naming any lienor who served a notice to owner and has not been paid in full.
Does a remodel in Palm Beach need a permit?
Florida law makes it unlawful to construct, alter or repair a building without a permit unless another law exempts the work, so confirm the permits with the contractor and the town.
