Neptune Beach is a coastal community with established residential neighborhoods, oceanfront properties, and small-scale commercial corridors. Projects within this area must comply with local zoning regulations as well as the Florida Building Code.

  • Coastal & Structural Considerations

    Neptune Beach properties may be subject to:

    • High wind exposure requirements
    • Flood zone regulations

    A Certificate of Use verifies that:

    If a proposed occupancy differs from the previous certified use, a Change of Use or Converting Use permit may be required.
