Welcome to the Lafayette County Building Department
The Lafayette County Building Dept. is here for public safety and to help with construction questions and concerns. We are responsible for checking Zoning on any property to make sure that you build in the correct location on your property and that you build according to FEMA regulations and Florida Building Code requirements. We are also responsible for reviewing building plans to ensure that they are up to Florida Building Code and structurally sound. We are also here to ensure that all contractors are licensed and carry work comp. Our Building Inspector is Mr. Garrett Land and he has been working for the County since 2020.
Under the direction of the Board Of County Commissioners Mr. Land administrates the Florida Building Code. Lafayette County is beginning to grow and building is continuing to pick up in the County.
