Coral Springs, Broward County
Demolition in Coral Springs
Coral Springs was drained bean and cattle land until Coral Ridge Properties master-planned it in the 1960s, and its neighborhoods still answer to associations. Before a tree comes out for a demolition, the city wants a residential tree removal permit with the homeowners' association approval attached to the application.
The city's residential tree removal permit covers single-family and duplex lots and carries three conditions that catch owners out. The HOA approval goes in with the application. The tree company must hold a Broward County tree trimmer license. And replacement trees go in within six months of approval, shade tree for shade tree and palm for palm. Multifamily and commercial sites need a commercial tree removal permit through the Building Division instead.
The first lots were sold in 1964, so most houses date from the late 1960s onward. Textured ceilings, floor tile and its mastic, and older roofing from those decades are exactly what an asbestos survey answers before the first wall is opened.
We move the association letter, the tree permit and the demolition permit together. Waiting for one to clear before starting the next is how a small job stalls.

Questions
Demolition in Coral Springs
Do I need a permit to remove trees before demolishing a house in Coral Springs?
Yes, for a single-family or duplex lot the city requires a residential tree removal permit. Your HOA's approval is submitted with it, the tree company must hold a Broward County tree trimmer license, and replacement trees must be planted within six months. We sequence that permit alongside the demolition permit so neither one holds up the other.
What does a demolition cost?
Every job is quoted from a site visit, or from photos and drawings when that is enough to see the scope. The number depends on what the building is made of, its size and height, what the asbestos survey finds, which utilities must be disconnected, access for equipment, how close the neighbors are, what stays and what goes, and where the debris is hauled. We do not publish prices, because two jobs that look alike rarely are.
What happens with asbestos before demolition?
The building is surveyed first by an independent licensed consultant, because federal rules require a thorough asbestos inspection before a regulated demolition and the county's notice depends on it. If the survey finds asbestos that the work will disturb, a licensed abatement firm removes it. Romco coordinates both; we are not an abatement contractor.
How long does a demolition take?
We do not quote durations before the facts are in. The schedule depends on permit review in your city, how quickly the utility disconnect letters arrive, what the asbestos survey finds and any notice period that follows, association approvals, and the size and construction of the building. Once those are known, we give you a sequence with the dependencies named.
