Do I Need a Permit to Demolish a Shed in Florida?

4 min read · Updated 2026-10-10

Many South Florida cities require a demolition permit for permanent structures, especially anything with electric, plumbing or a slab — while small unpowered sheds sometimes don't. Rules vary by city, so check your building department (and HOA) before demolition starts.

The short answer

Many South Florida cities require a demolition permit for permanent structures, especially anything with electric, plumbing or a slab — while small unpowered sheds sometimes don't. Rules vary by city, so check your building department (and HOA) before demolition starts.

What to know first

  • Is there power or water running to it?
  • Is it on a concrete slab you also want removed?
  • Does your HOA require approval?
  • Is there asbestos-era material (older structures)?
