Where to start
Building a house in Palm Bay? Read the Palm Bay build-lot guide first, then the scrub-jay and gopher tortoise guides. Clearing acreage? Start with permits and mulching vs bulldozing. Budgeting a build lot? The cost guide and the fill dirt guide go together.
Each guide shows the date it was last reviewed. Codes change, so confirm with the office that issues the permit before work starts.
