About each permit
Floodplain Development Permit (Special Flood Hazard Areas Only)
A development permit is required before any development in an identified special flood hazard area of St. Clair County, applied for through the Floodplain Administrator and the county engineer (205-594-2190). The permit remains valid for one year and is void if the activity is not begun within 180 days. The permit fee is not published: the ordinance and the model permit form print no fee amount, and there is no published fee schedule for this permit, so call the county engineer for the current amount. The Commission's letter of September 8, 2025 says there are restrictions if a property is in a flood plain and directs applicants to the county engineer. The permit applies only to property in a flood zone and only in the unincorporated area.
