No city hall

Jensen Beach is not an incorporated city. That means permits for AC changeouts, water heaters, fences, shutters and most other work go through the Martin County Building Department. Martin County's rules are known for being careful, so leave time for review on bigger projects.

Lagoon and island exposure

Homes along the lagoon and on Hutchinson Island face salt air most days. Metal rusts, paint chalks and AC coils corrode faster than they would inland. Waterfront homes may also have docks and seawalls that need attention after storms.

A mix of homes

You will find older cottages and 1970s and 1980s block homes near the old downtown area, along with condos and gated communities. Condo owners should check with the association before any work, since many associations control exterior items, plumbing risers and even AC unit placement.

Common questions

Who issues building permits in Jensen Beach?

Martin County. Jensen Beach is unincorporated, so it does not have its own building department. A local pro should know the county process, and the county's permit office can answer questions about a specific address.

I live in a Jensen Beach condo. What do I need before work starts?

Start with the association. Many condo associations must approve contractors, require proof of insurance and limit working hours. Some also own parts of the building, such as plumbing stacks or exterior walls, so the repair may be theirs to arrange.

Does living near the lagoon change AC and outdoor equipment choices?

Often, yes. Salt air near the lagoon and on Hutchinson Island corrodes coils and metal parts faster. Ask pros about coated coils, regular rinsing and corrosion resistant hardware for anything installed outside.
