St. Pete Seeks Streamlined Permitting Fee Waivers After Disasters
The city of St. Petersburg can already waive fees and has done so in the past, but a new ordinance aims to make this option available even after a state of emergency expires.
Following Hurricanes Helene and Milton last year, the city waived certain permitting fees for residents repairing damaged property under a declared state of emergency.
Mayor Ken Welch's administration now wants to allow waivers to remain an option even when the declared emergency is over.
- The City Council will consider an ordinance to amend Chapter 12 of the City Code.
- The amendment would allow the city building official to waive certain fees for Post Disaster Emergency Permits (PDEP).

The measure is expected to receive support from the City Council as it aims to promote storm recovery after natural disasters.
