Daytona Beach, FL - Building permit and inspection fees are being waived, beginning today (October 21) in the core of the city of Daytona Beach. The incentive is available for both commercial and residential properties within the borders of Mason Avenue to Shady Place and Nova Road to Ridgewood Avenue.

The action was approved by commissioners at their Aug. 18, 2021, meeting (agenda item). The purpose is to promote neighborhood improvement and beautification, as well as to spur private investment in the core of the city.

There are a wide range of eligible projects, including interior renovations, replacing or repairing a roof, adding fencing, improving or adding a driveway and adding windows or doors. There are also projects that are not eligible, including building a new structure separate from an existing building or any new single-family home.
