Welcome to the City of Live Oak Development Services page. Our Department is
responsible for the health, safety and welfare of our residents. The City of Live Oak is a
zoned City, and we do require permits to be obtained from our office BEFORE any work is
started. Permits are required for all new construction. In addition to new structural
construction, permits are required for any remodeling or roofing, installation of air
conditioning and heating systems, electrical, plumbing, swimming pools (in ground and
above ground) and hot tubs, storage buildings, carports, garages and workshops,
sidewalks, driveways, patios, lawn irrigation systems, water heaters, adding or removing
walls, demolition of structures, house moving and mobile homes. For more information on
what is requires a permit, please click on this link:

Our Department reviews all new construction and proposed improvements of existing
structures to ensure they conform to all adopted City Codes and Ordinances. Final approval
of all plans, permits and inspections rests with this department, assuring owners of sound
construction. In addition, our Department also handles health permits and inspections.
