Gulfport Urges Permit Closures Before Next Storm | Tampa News
Description
Gulfport’s warning: Close your building permits now or face huge costs later. After hurricanes Helene and Milton, homeowners with open permits risk being hit with FEMA’s 50% damage threshold if future storms compound existing repairs — potentially forcing costly elevations or rebuilds. Residents like James Newman and Becky McCoy faced months of delays as contractors were overwhelmed, and while officials push for closures, many feel the system’s delays should be acknowledged. Don’t wait — finalizing permits now could save you from financial disaster down the road.
