Decision — first matching row wins
| # | When | Permit | Type | Reason |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | otherwise | yes | Building + Electrical Permit, plus DBPR Elevator Safety plan review | Elevators and platform lifts are regulated under Fla. Stat. ch. 399 (Elevator Safety) in addition to the local building permit — DBPR's Bureau of Elevator Safety reviews plans and performs its own inspections/certificate of operation on top of the county's structural and electrical permits. A straight stair chair lift on an existing stair (no shaft, no structural change) is a lighter electrical-only scope in most authorities, but confirm locally. |
