Enterprise Fund Concept
Building Department permit fees pay for the activities related to enforcement of the Florida Building Code. By Florida law permit fees may only cover building code enforcement activities.
Floodplain management, housing code enforcement and zoning code activities are not to be funded with building permit fees.
The Building Department has been supported by the General
Fund related to other non-building code activities.

Mayport Road Redevelopment
Currently working with FDOT on potential beautification projects along Mayport Road
Mural or mosiac at Mayport Road and Atlantic Overpass
FDOT has a statewide matching beautification
grant that could help cover the cost of a mural
FDOT’s District office also has money to spend on beautification projects. The coordinator is interested in working with COAB on projects
