St. Pete Seeks Streamlined Permitting Fee Waivers After Disasters
The city of St. Petersburg is considering an ordinance to allow the city building official to waive certain fees for Post Disaster Emergency Permits (PDEP) even after a state of emergency expires.
Currently, the city can waive fees during a declared state of emergency, as seen after Hurricanes Helene and Milton last year. However, Mayor Ken Welch's administration wants to make these waivers an option even when the emergency is over.
- The proposed ordinance would amend Chapter 12 of the City Code.
- The measure is expected to receive support from the City Council as an effort to promote storm recovery.

The City Council will consider the ordinance on Thursday, and it will require additional approval if successful.
