Lake County Office of Building Services
The county's residential pool checklist asks for construction plans signed and sealed by an architect or engineer, pool equipment specifications, TDH calculations and a zoning clearance, plus a recorded Notice of Commencement when the job value is over $5,000. Homes inside a city's limits usually permit through that city's own building department; confirm which office covers your address before applying.

Does the Lake County Office of Building Services cover every address in Lake County?
The county office handles unincorporated Lake County. Homes inside a city usually permit through that city's own building department; confirm which office covers your address before applying.
Should the screen enclosure be planned with the deck?
Yes. Enclosure footings or beams sit at the deck edge, so planning both together avoids cutting a new deck later.
What deck surfaces are common in Central Florida?
Concrete pavers, travertine pavers, and poured concrete with a broom, textured or spray finish are all common. Lighter, textured surfaces stay cooler and less slippery underfoot.
