Permitting in Longboat Key
Tell us about your project — we’ll reply within one business day.
Longboat Key is unusual: the town straddles the Sarasota–Manatee county line, so which county touches your project changes the review path. We know both desks and handle the full build through permit management regardless of which side of the line you're on.
Like every barrier island here, Longboat is almost entirely flood zone, so elevation certificates and FEMA review are standard, and exterior materials need wind-rated NOAs. We confirm all of it during zoning verification before plans are stamped.
We coordinate private provider inspections so your schedule isn't held hostage by a town inspector's calendar, and we permit across the neighboring islands — Anna Maria Island, Lido Key, and Siesta Key.
