Question & Answer

Review the question and all answer choices

A

No special permits

No special permits are incorrect because Florida recognizes the heightened environmental risks in coastal areas and requires specific regulatory oversight beyond standard building codes.

B

Only local permits

Only local permits are incorrect because Florida's coastal construction control line establishes areas where state authority supersedes local permitting requirements for construction seaward of the line.

C

State DEP permits

Correct Answer
D

Federal permits only

Federal permits only is incorrect because while federal regulations may apply in some coastal areas, Florida has its own coastal management program that addresses construction seaward of the CCCL through state DEP permits.

Why is this correct?

Building seaward of the CCCL requires DEP permits because Florida has established a comprehensive coastal management program that centralizes permitting authority for these sensitive areas at the state level, not local or federal.
