Decision — first matching row wins
| # | When | Permit | Type | Reason |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | in_row is yes | yes | Right-of-Way Permit (+ building permit where required) | Any work in the county/city right-of-way (driveway apron, culvert, swale) needs a ROW permit from the transportation/engineering side — separate from building. |
| 2 | new_impervious is yes | conditional | Site / drainage review may apply | New impervious area can trigger lot-coverage and drainage review depending on zoning district and size. Reviewer to confirm. |
| 3 | otherwise | conditional | Often no building permit for like-for-like private flatwork | Replacing existing private driveway/patio surface is commonly exempt, but Collier and Lee differ on when a permit is required for new hardscape. Reviewer to confirm per authority. |
