Why Choose Built With Love in Longboat Key, FL
Longboat Key Two-County Permitting & 30-Foot Height Cap
Longboat Key is an 11-mile barrier island divided between Manatee County and Sarasota County, with the northern portion in Manatee County and the southern portion in Sarasota County. The town operates its own Planning, Zoning & Building Department at 501 Bay Isles Road and transitioned to Accela for online permitting in April 2025. Single-family structures are subject to a 30-foot height cap, while the town also has rules addressing reconstruction of legally nonconforming multifamily and tourism properties.
