Yes. With approximately 40% SFHA coverage and significant VE (coastal high-hazard) zones along St. Joseph Sound and the Gulf coastline, Dunedin has one of the higher flood risk profiles in Pinellas County. The city's flat terrain and proximity to the Gulf mean even moderate storms can produce significant flooding.

Waterfront improvements in Dunedin require Pinellas County or City of Dunedin building permits, floodplain development permits, and often Southwest Florida Water Management District (SWFWMD) environmental permits. MKC coordinates all required agency permits for waterfront projects.

Yes. MKC coordinates elevation certificates, provides engineering letters for insurance purposes, and assists with FEMA Letter of Map Amendment (LOMA) applications when properties may have been incorrectly included in flood zones. These documents can significantly reduce flood insurance premiums.

Yes. Dunedin has a significant stock of older homes from the 1950s–1970s that require renovation, permit resolution, and engineering assessment. MKC's PE provides structural evaluations for renovation projects, and our construction team is experienced with period construction methods.

For a flood-zone renovation, we calculate the substantial improvement threshold, obtain an elevation certificate if needed, prepare all permit applications (building + floodplain), manage engineering coordination, and execute the construction — all under one contract. A typical process from start to permit approval takes 6–12 weeks.
