Permit Authority

Bronson's current zoning page says applicants must first obtain a town zoning approval application and then go to the Levy County Development Department to obtain the building permit. However, the town also publishes Bronson-branded building permit requirement packets and a 2025 building fee schedule. Public materials are therefore inconsistent and should be confirmed with Town Hall before filing.
