Pinellas Residents Can Get Expedited Permits For Temporary Shelter
Unincorporated residents impacted by the hurricane can get permits for recreational vehicles and other shelters while they make repairs.
PINELLAS COUNTY, FL — Residents of unincorporated Pinellas County whose home was damaged and made uninhabitable because of Hurricane Idalia may apply to place a temporary shelter on their property until their primary home can be repaired or replaced.
A temporary shelter may be a recreational vehicle, trailer or similar structure. It must be connected to utilities and be fully located on the resident’s property outside of any easements.
To place a temporary shelter on your property, you’ll need to apply for zoning clearance and for the appropriate utility permits. You will also need to obtain repair permits for work being done on your primary residence. For properties within unincorporated Pinellas County, there are both online and in-person options to apply and permitting for temporary shelter will be expedited.
