LOCAL RESEARCH / Oviedo
Planning your work
A Florida law effective 1 July 2026 requires local governments to exempt work on single-family residential property valued at $7,500 or less from the building permit requirement, but the exemption excludes any electrical, plumbing, structural, mechanical or gas work and does not apply in flood hazard areas. Much garage door and opener work falls into one of those excluded categories, so the exemption is narrower than it first reads. Oviedo is in Seminole County; confirm with the county or city building department which office reviews the address and what it now asks for.
