Hollywood, Florida HVAC Local Permit Ordinances and Codes

Hollywood, Florida HVAC Permit Ordinances

The City of Hollywood's Building Division is the Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ) for HVAC permit ordinances. They are responsible for enforcing the Florida Building Code and the City's Code of Ordinances to ensure public health, safety, and general welfare.

Specific Local Zoning or Fee Nuances:

Historical Zones: If a property is located in a Historical Zone, a survey or aerial view indicating the location and setback of mechanical equipment is required. If the equipment is visible from the public right-of-way, the method of screening (e.g., landscaping, fencing) must be indicated.
Setbacks: Mechanical equipment and associated slabs must maintain a minimum 3-foot side and rear setback, or a 12-foot setback if adjacent to a side street. Equipment is not permitted in the frontage setback (the first 25 feet measured from the front property line).
Permit Application Process: Permit applications can be submitted online through the Accela Online Portal for many permit types, including mechanical permits for A/C replacements. Expedited permitting services are available for residential A/C replacements.
Required Documents: For A/C replacements, a completed Broward County Uniform Permit Application (with Mechanical checked), a sub-permit application for any electrical work, and the AHRI Certificate of Product Ratings for the A/C equipment are required. A completed A/C Equipment Change Out form is also necessary.
Equipment Tie-Downs: Details for equipment exposed to the outside must be provided, either as a Florida Product Approval or a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance (NOA) with tie-down details. If using engineered plans, tie-down details must be highlighted.
Notice of Commencement (NOC): An NOC must be submitted and posted on the job site prior to the first inspection if the job cost exceeds $2,500 or for A/C repair/replacement valued at $7,500 or more. While not required for permit issuance, it is necessary for scheduling the first inspection.
Permit Fees: Permit fees are determined by various city departments and can vary based on project size, valuation, and the number of inspections. Surcharges, such as the Broward County Surcharge and State Surcharges (DCA and DBPR), are applied to permit fees. A permit cost estimator tool is available on the city's website for general information, but actual costs may differ.
Inspections: Once a permit is issued, it is the contractor's responsibility to schedule necessary inspections. This can be done online or by calling the automated inspection scheduling line.
