Use permits and the PDCS permit desk for commercial concrete in DeBary
Building code administration, plan review and inspections in DeBary belong to PDCS, LLC, a firm the city hires. Permits are filed at City Hall, while applications, status, fees and inspections all run through the Citizenserve portal. Every permit carries an application fee, $50 residential or $100 commercial, per the city's Building page. The fee schedule shows a flat $75 for residential items like driveways and slabs, so ask PDCS what a business slab is charged.
Driveways go through Growth Management. LDC Sec. 3.35(b) requires a use permit before anything goes on city property, and it counts a driveway connection to a city road as a facility. The City Engineer reviews it. The HB 803 exemption covers single-family homes only. DeBary's own guidance treats accessory structures and freestanding masonry walls as structural work, which is never exempt. If the job needs a permit, we pull it. Our commercial concrete service page lays out the order of work.
A 6 inch apron with no steel, and no pervious pavers
Before commercial concrete in DeBary meets the street, read the apron rule in the code. LDC Sec. 7.6(e) says residential driveways inside the right-of-way shall be concrete a minimum of six inches thick without steel or wire reinforcement. No pervious pavers are allowed in the road right-of-way. A driveway that's unpaved still needs a paved apron to that spec, running 5 feet past the back of any sidewalk, and any widening has to match what's there. A business entrance may be reviewed differently, so check with the City Engineer before you order.
Sec. 7.6 sets the footprint too. Measured at the street right-of-way line, residential width goes from 10 feet minimum to 24 feet maximum. Keep every driveway at least 5 feet from a neighbor's property line. Corner clearance is 50 feet on arterials and collectors, and it can drop to 25 feet on local streets. Where a driveway can't follow the roadside swale, put in a culvert with a 15 inch minimum pipe. A lot can have up to three driveways, 30 feet apart. Broken sidewalk gets replaced out to the nearest joint with like material.
