Palmetto Construction
& Permit Services

Palmetto sits on the north bank of the Manatee River where it meets Tampa Bay. Approximately 42% of the city is in FEMA's SFHA. Tidal backflow, storm surge from Tampa Bay, and Manatee River flooding all affect Palmetto properties — particularly those in the Snead Island and riverside neighborhoods.

Waterfront projects in Palmetto require City of Palmetto building permits, floodplain development permits, and often SWFWMD environmental permits for work near the Manatee River. Seawall and dock projects have additional requirements. MKC coordinates all required agency permits.
