Good day!

 

Well, we have been in Milton recovery for a few weeks now and continue to work our way forward.  People have been going through their belongings, cleaning out their homes, working with insurance, applying for FEMA assistance and now some may be ready to start to work on repairing their homes.   You may or may not have heard recently mentions of the Substantial Damage Rule. It is EXTREMELY important for you to please read the information provided in this link Pinellas.gov/sdsi to familiarize yourself with the Substantial Damage Rule, what the guidelines are and how you will move forward.    The information that is being provided is for citizens living within unincorporated Pinellas County.  Should you be reading this email and live within a city limit, please contact your city of residence. 

 

Once you read over the information and you live in a flood hazard area within unincorporated Pinellas, you can call the Pinellas County Building Department at 727-464-3888 or sdinspection@pinellas.gov to request a substantial damage inspection.

 

Should you have additional questions, the Building Department if fully versed and would be best to contact.  You may contact BDRS at 727-464-3888, by email at buildingpermits@pinellas.gov (if it has to do with storm damage permitting) or sdinspection@pinellas.gov if it has to do with substantial damage inspections.

 

I hope you find this information helpful.  I will continue to provide you with information I believe could be helpful to you.
