Permit Help in Tequesta
If your property is inside the Village of Tequesta, building permits are issued by the Village Building Department — not by a neighboring town and not by a county office used for unincorporated parcels. Tequesta is not Jupiter or Juno Beach. A Tequesta mailing address can still sit outside village limits. Confirm that the property is inside the Village before anyone applies.
Permit Busters, LLC helps homeowners, business owners, real estate professionals, and contractors with permit expediting, code-violation resolution, and open or expired permit questions on Tequesta properties. We do not issue or approve permits. The Village’s building official decides those outcomes.
Which office reviews a Tequesta property?
The Building Department handles plan review, permitting, and inspections, along with related services such as business-tax receipts and flood information. The office is at 345 Tequesta Drive, Tequesta, FL 33469. The Building Department phone number is (561) 768-0450. The email is permits@tequesta.org. The Building Department contact block lists hours as 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
Association or condominium approval, when a property requires it, is separate from the Village permit and remains the client’s responsibility. Special-event permits and boat-storage permits are separate Village paths and are not a substitute for the building permit.
How Tequesta applications are submitted
The Village accepts building-permit applications online through its BS&A system at https://bsaonline.com/?uid=2607. Step-by-step instructions are posted on the Building Department and Permits pages. Contractors should contact the Building Department first to obtain a BS&A Contractor Web PIN. The Village uses the universal countywide building permit application; that form is required as an attachment on submissions.
In the portal you select the property, enter the permit details and work description, confirm applicant contacts, attach the required files, and submit. The Village asks applicants to name each attachment clearly. If documents are missing, the Building Department notifies you by email before the application is accepted. After the application is accepted, invoices can be paid online from the “View My Activity” screen, or by searching with a reference number, address, owner name, or parcel number. Certificates of insurance and contractor-license updates can be emailed to permits@tequesta.org or mailed to the Building Department at 345 Tequesta Drive.
A Village of Tequesta BS&A filing is not a substitute for a permit on an unincorporated parcel, and it is not the same system as Jupiter’s JCDS portal or Juno Beach MGO.
How Permit Busters can help
Permit expediting. Share the Tequesta address, confirmation that the property is inside the Village, the scope of work, and whether a BS&A record already exists. We can help prepare the application, organize named uploads, and follow Village reviewer comments. Licensed contractors or eligible owner-builders still have to meet the Village’s applicant rules. Government fees are separate from our fee. Our fee is non-refundable once work begins.
Code-violation resolution. Read the agency named on the notice. A Village of Tequesta notice is not the same as a county notice or a notice from Jupiter or Juno Beach. If a hearing is involved, our help is document preparation only, not attorney work and not legal advice. Bring the notice, confirmation of the property village, and any related permit records.
Open or expired permits. Finished physical work is not the same as a closed permit. Permit details, inspection status, and attachments can be checked in BS&A. For some close-out questions, the Village posts a permit reinstatement request form to email to permits@tequesta.org. If a sale or refinance turned up an open or expired Tequesta record, gather the permit number, inspection history if you have it, and the question from your transaction team. Identifying a record and resolving it are separate steps. A consultation cannot guarantee a closing date.
Project types we often discuss in Tequesta
Homeowners, businesses, and real estate professionals often need help with renovations, windows and doors, roofing, additions, or marine-related work, or with an open permit found during a sale.
Questions specific to Tequesta
Who issues the permit?
The Village of Tequesta Building Department issues its own permits for property inside the Village. Do not file a Village property in Jupiter JCDS, Juno Beach MGO, or a county system used for unincorporated parcels.
How do I file?
Apply through BS&A at https://bsaonline.com/?uid=2607. Contractors need a Contractor Web PIN from the Building Department. Attach the universal building-permit application and clearly named supporting files. Call (561) 768-0450 or email permits@tequesta.org with questions.
What should I gather before a consultation?
The property address, confirmation that it is inside the Village of Tequesta, a short description of the work or the notice, any permit or case number, and copies of plans or inspection history if you have them.
