Weston operates its own Building Code and Permitting Services Department at 17250 Royal Palm Boulevard, phone (954) 385-0500, with its own Building Official — and it earned an ISO Building Code Effectiveness rating of Class 2 in 2024, among the strictest enforcement standards in Florida. All Weston permits, inspections, and Certificates of Occupancy run through this city department.

Here's the layer most owners miss: Weston permits are governed by the Florida Building Code AND Broward County regulations. Certain projects also require Broward County-level approval certificates before the city permit can issue, and retrieving older building records is a two-step process through Broward County Records (954-765-4400) and then the city. AGK navigates both layers in the correct order so nothing stalls your case.

Current permits and records are searchable through the city's Weston ePermits portal (Accela Citizen Access) — a 24/7 online system for permit records, applications, and inspection scheduling. But older building plans and legacy records take a two-step process: first contact the Broward County Records Division at (954) 765-4400 to obtain the permit number, then request the file from Weston Building Code Services at (954) 385-0500. And recorded violation liens sit in Broward County official records — a third system entirely.

AGK pulls the complete permit, violation, and lien history for your address across every system as part of our free consultation — so nothing surfaces later during a sale or refinance. Call (954) 807-3455 and we'll run the full check for you.

Weston is one of the most HOA-governed cities in Florida — virtually every neighborhood from Weston Hills to Savanna to The Ridges has active architectural control, and Weston HOAs are known for reporting unpermitted work quickly. HOA violations and city building code violations are separate issues handled by separate authorities, but one unpermitted pergola or summer kitchen typically triggers both cases at once.

AGK's scope covers the city building code side completely — permits through Weston's ePermits system, code-compliant corrections, and official closure with Building Code Services. We ensure all materials and finishes used in our work meet your community's architectural guidelines, which typically satisfies the HOA's requirements once the city's building permit is officially closed. One project, both tracks resolved.

Yes. Code violations and open permits attach to the property — not the previous owner — and transfer with the deed. As the current owner you are responsible for bringing the property into compliance, including any fines that may have accumulated before you took ownership. In Weston this most often means unpermitted patio enclosures, outdoor kitchens, generator installations, and window replacements from prior owners.

AGK Construction & Roofing handles the entire resolution process under one contract — property inspection to identify all unpermitted items, after-the-fact permit applications through Weston's ePermits system, all required physical corrections, and final inspection sign-off. You never deal with the building department yourself.

Yes. Weston enforces code violations through a Special Magistrate process — once a violation is confirmed at a hearing, daily fines are ordered and accumulate with no cap until the violation is officially closed through Building Code Services. Accumulated fines become recorded liens against your property in Broward County records.

A recorded lien appears in every title search and blocks any sale or refinance until it is satisfied. Total costs for violation resolution plus lien removal can reach $8,000 and above — and at Weston property values, a stalled closing costs far more than the violation itself. The most effective way to reduce your total cost is to start immediately. Call AGK at (954) 807-3455 — the inspection and written assessment are free.

Weston sits in western Broward County, outside the coastal High Velocity Hurricane Zone (HVHZ). Properties in Weston are subject to standard Florida Building Code wind-borne debris requirements rather than the HVHZ standards that apply along the coast — a distinction that affects product selection and cost.

However, all roofing systems, windows, and exterior doors must still carry Florida Product Approval and meet current wind resistance requirements — and Weston's Class 2-rated inspections catch non-compliant materials. AGK installs only Florida-approved products on every Weston job and ensures all work passes city inspection.

Yes. AGK Construction & Roofing holds five active Florida contractor licenses: Roofing (CCC-1335099), General Contractor (CGC-1534839), Plumbing (CFC-1434412), Glass & Glazing (SCC-131153361), and Mechanical (CMC-1251836). We can legally perform, permit, and pass inspection for roofing, structural, plumbing, mechanical/HVAC, and window work all under one contract.

For Weston properties with multiple violation types — common when a prior owner's outdoor kitchen involved structural, plumbing, gas, and electrical-adjacent work all at once — this means one contractor, one coordinated ePermits submission, and one set of inspections instead of juggling four or five separate contractors and timelines.

Yes — and it surprises Weston owners because the city feels new. Broward County's Board of Rules and Appeals revised the Building Recertification Program (formerly the 40-Year Inspection Program) to align with Florida law: buildings now require their first structural and electrical safety inspection at 25 years of age instead of 40.

Bonaventure's 1970s–80s buildings are already past that line, and Weston's first Arvida-era structures from the early 1990s are crossing it right now. Ignoring a recertification notice becomes a code case with the same daily-fine and lien exposure as any other violation. AGK performs recertification repairs across all five licensed trades and closes the case with Building Code Services. Call (954) 807-3455 before the deadline, not after.

AGK Construction & Roofing serves all of Weston, Bonaventure, and Southwest Broward County and can typically schedule a free on-site violation inspection within 24 to 48 hours of your call. For urgent situations — active stop-work orders, Special Magistrate hearings, imminent closing deadlines, or rapidly accumulating daily fines — call us directly at (954) 807-3455 and we will prioritize your case immediately.

Every day a Weston violation stays open costs you more in fines and increases the risk of a recorded lien. The sooner we begin the process, the sooner the violation is officially closed.
