Permitting & Compliance in Sea Ranch Lakes
Small village, long paper trail.
Most permit trouble inside this gate is inherited. Turnover is rare, so when a Sea Ranch Lakes house finally changes hands the file carries decades of other people's decisions: jalousies swapped for impact glass by a company that closed, a Florida room glassed in on Saranac Road, a garage turned into an office, a dock and lift rebuilt after a storm, a service panel upgraded on a handshake. None of it shows in the house. All of it shows in a title search, an appraisal, or a lender's file three weeks before funding.
Permits here are filed at the Village office on Gatehouse Road, where the Village Clerk takes the application in, the building official and the Village's consulting professionals review it against the Florida Building Code and the Village land development code, the Beach Club citizen board comments on anything visible from outside, and the Council acts. Behind the Village sits the county: the Broward County Board of Rules and Appeals publishes the amendments and certifies the officials and inspectors who will read your file. Broward is High-Velocity Hurricane Zone territory, so windows, doors and roofing need approved products with the anchor details attached.
PGX Builders Group has spent more than 20 years building in South Florida and delivered 150-plus remodels and additions, every one permitted and inspected, which is another way of saying we have read a great many bad files. We pull the address history before pricing anything, open up whatever has to be seen, and bring in the engineer, architect or surveyor the record requires instead of pretending to be one. Flood elevation gets checked early on the Intracoastal and lake lots, because crossing the substantial-improvement threshold changes the project. A supervisor books each inspection and meets the inspector at the gate. Nobody here is selling a shortcut.

What's included
Inside the gate, on the record.
Some of this happens before a shovel moves. The rest happens because something already went sideways. Either way it starts with the record, not a phone call.
Open files behind the gate
Requesting the full permit history for the address, establishing what was actually built, then reactivating, correcting or re-inspecting whatever the Village needs to close each one.
Unpermitted work, documented
Enclosed Florida rooms, converted garages, added baths and windows swapped years ago, recorded as built, engineered where the code requires it, then inspected against today's standards.
Approved products, proper anchors
Impact windows, doors and roofing with current High-Velocity Hurricane Zone approvals, installed to the anchor pattern the approval specifies and documented before the inspector asks.
Inspections without a second trip
Trades staged so each phased inspection arrives genuinely ready, someone from PGX on site when the inspector clears the gatehouse, and the final actually called.
Tree, dock and flood filings
Village tree removal and replacement planting, Army Corps and county approvals on the waterway side, and the elevation certification a flood-zone lot requires.

A permit number, a title report or just the address is enough to start. We come look, then tell you in writing what it takes, in English o en español.
