1otherwiseyesBuilding + Electrical Permit, plus DBPR Elevator Safety plan reviewElevators 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.
