About each permit
Commercial Building Permit Zoning Review and Commercial Concurrency Review
The Brevard County Planning and Zoning Applications & Fees page lists, under Building Permit and Concurrency Fees, a Commercial Building Permit review fee of $210 and a Commercial Concurrency review fee of $175. These are Planning and Zoning review charges on a commercial building permit in unincorporated Brevard County, for example a build-out or new building for a restaurant, shop, salon, clinic, gym or child care centre. They are charged in addition to the building permit fee itself, which is not part of this record. The fee page states no effective date or adopting resolution number for the schedule. A project inside one of the county's municipalities goes through that municipality's own zoning and building review.
Zoning Use Permit Approval for Business Tax Receipts
The Brevard County Planning and Zoning Applications & Fees page lists "Zoning use Permit Approval for Business Tax Receipts" at $25 under Miscellaneous Fees. The page states no effective date or adopting resolution number for the schedule. This is the zoning sign-off for a business tax receipt at a location in unincorporated Brevard County: the Tax Collector's Business Tax Receipt page tells a business in an unincorporated area to contact Brevard County Zoning at (321) 633-2070 before applying for the receipt, and tells a business inside a municipality to contact that municipality instead. The Tax Collector's page also notes that issuing a receipt does not confirm that the business activity on the property complies with local zoning, so the zoning approval is a separate step. Brevard County Planning and Zoning is part of Planning and Development at the Viera Government Center.

The Brevard County Planning and Zoning Applications & Fees page lists two Home Occupations fees: $347 for an interpretation of a home occupation, and $693 for a special request under Section 62-1155(b)(4) of the County Code.

The Brevard County Planning and Zoning Applications & Fees page lists "State Alcoholic Beverage License Application Review" at $25 under Administrative Approvals. This is the county's zoning review of an application for a State alcoholic beverage license at a location in unincorporated Brevard County; the alcoholic beverage license itself is a State license, and the $25 county review is charged on top of the State license fees. A restaurant, coffee shop or retail store planning to sell beer, wine or liquor in the unincorporated county should arrange this review with Brevard County Zoning at (321) 633-2070.
