What shapes a project in Orlando

Local conditions worth knowing before scope and budget are set.

  1. Apartments, condos and newer construction

    In the 2024 American Community Survey, about 32 percent of Orlando's roughly 151,000 housing units were single-family detached homes and about 59 percent were in buildings with two or more units, including about 35 percent in buildings of 5 to 49 units. About 43 percent were built in 2000 or later and about 14 percent before 1960.

  2. How Orlando handles the small-job exemption

    For the state's under-$7,500 permit exemption, Orlando says the single-family property cannot be in a flood zone, and owners must submit documentation of the nature and value of the work, such as a written contract. The city says it reviews these requests within five business days. For permitted work, plans are submitted online and reviewed digitally after the permit application is processed.
