City of Lawtey

Lawtey must enforce the Florida Building Code through whichever local enforcement arrangement it uses.

Note: No Lawtey-specific public exemption list was located in the reviewed official sources.

Building code

Florida Building Code, 8th Edition (2023), effective December 31, 2023. Lawtey is in Bradford County, not in Miami-Dade or Broward, so High-Velocity Hurricane Zone requirements do not apply.

1. 01
   Confirm zoning with Lawtey. Bradford County's zoning page directs Lawtey zoning inquiries to Lawtey's local zoning department.
2. 02
   For building permits, the reviewed official public materials are conflicting. The Lawtey site presents a Starke-style permitting workflow, including Starke contact channels, while the county site does not expressly say Lawtey is outside county building jurisdiction.
3. 03
   The Lawtey page lists general permit, roofing permit, solar packet, residential checklist, Notice of Commencement, zoning forms, floodplain permit application, and permit/contractor/code portals, but applicants should treat it as a possible shared-service workflow rather than definitive proof of a standalone Lawtey permit office.
4. 04
   Contact Lawtey directly at (904) 782-3454 or lharley@cityoflawtey.org to confirm the current building permit authority and process.

Inspection hours

The official Lawtey permit page, which appears copied from Starke, says inspections occur during morning hours on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays and should be scheduled at least a day in advance.
