Yes. Whole home generator installations in Saint Augustine require permits for the electrical work, gas line connection, and generator pad. Historic downtown addresses also require Historic Architectural Review Board (HARB) approval for any visible installation. The permitting authority depends on your address:
- City of Saint Augustine: City of Saint Augustine Building Department + HARB for historic district
- Unincorporated St. Johns County: St. Johns County Growth Management
- Saint Augustine Beach: City of Saint Augustine Beach Building Department
- Ponte Vedra, World Golf Village, Palencia, Nocatee: St. Johns County
GenerX handles all permit applications and inspections on your behalf, including HARB submissions for historic district properties.
