Local Rules
Do I need a permit to demolish a shed in Florida?
Usually no for a small detached shed — most Palm Beach and Broward cities don't require a permit to remove a small accessory structure. Larger structures, anything with electrical or plumbing hooked up, and structural demolition usually do. All Out Rubbish checks your city's rules before we start — call or text (561) 345-9808.
Small sheds, fences, and playsets are typically exempt from demolition permits in most Palm Beach and Broward municipalities.
If the shed has electrical service or plumbing, the disconnection work may need a permit even when the removal doesn't.
Structural demolition — garages, additions, interior load-bearing work — almost always requires a permit and a licensed contractor.
Your HOA can require approval even when the city doesn't. Check both before the crew shows up.
We verify the permit situation for your address as part of the quote, so you're not fined for work that needed one.
