Holmes Beach homes and buildings
Holmes Beach has about 3,000 residents, and the median home was built in 1975 (Census ACS 2020–2024). A mix of older island homes, elevated rebuilds, condos and rentals. Salt air, flood-zone rules and storm damage drive much of the work.
Permits and utility in Holmes Beach
Holmes Beach has its own Building Department at 5801 Marina Drive, with applications and inspections through CitizenServe. The city notes that Florida’s 2026 HB 803 exemption for small projects doesn’t apply to electrical work on single-family homes or to property in flood hazard areas, so permits are still required. Whichever office it is, we pull the permit and meet the inspector.
Utility: Florida Power & Light (FPL) serves the area. We coordinate service upgrades with FPL.
