When you need one of these, it is time for a change ($160US)

Do they require a State Licensed Contractor to do the work too?

Florida does not license floor covering installation. (carpet, tile or wood)

Greg,
Was there any 'fee' for the permit?

Here, we do not require a permit for carpet, or any other floor coverings. And as far as debris clean-up, all you need is a verbal approval for a dumpster location from zoning, as to it not being on the public street.

Personally, from super storm Sandy, we were told to put all damaged items on the curb, and the Township provided pickup and disposal (Brick Township). They took everything.

That is the way it worked here. Pile it on the curb, they come get it. A few guys abused the system and tore their houses down, piling it all on the curb. They traded a $40,000 demo bill for a weekend of machine time.

When a career inspector says things have gotten out of hand . . . Listen!

I had to pay $160 for the carpet permit
