Yes. Whole home generator installations in Punta Gorda require permits for the electrical work, gas line connection, and generator pad. Charlotte County’s post-Charley wind-load and elevation standards are among the strictest in Florida. The permitting authority depends on your address:

- City of Punta Gorda addresses: City of Punta Gorda Building Department
- Englewood, Rotonda West, Port Charlotte: Charlotte County
