The city’s debris removal contractors have completed their work and will now focus on clearing remaining sand from public areas and right-of-ways.
If you still have debris, please follow these steps:
-
Construction & Demolition Debris (drywall, flooring, wood, etc.): Property owners or their contractors must dispose of these items. The city does not collect construction debris.
-
Vegetative Debris: Contractors must remove any debris they generate. Resident-generated yard waste will be picked up on Yard Waste Wednesdays.
-
Furniture, Electronics & Appliances: Contact Public Works at 727-547-4575 x250 to schedule a special pickup.
Thank you for your cooperation!
 Treasure Island understands that the aftermath of two recent hurricanes has created a challenging situation for everyone in our community. Please know that the City of Treasure Island’s Community Development Department (CDD) is working tirelessly to help residents and businesses recover quickly.
Since the storms, the city has received an unprecedented volume of permit requests—959, over half of what we typically see in an entire year. Despite this surge, our dedicated team is processing permits daily. On days when our office is closed to in-person visits, our staff focuses solely on reviewing applications to expedite the process. We are also receiving additional support from the state, with more resources expected later this week, and volunteers have joined us to help streamline operations.
Additionally, city staff is gradually receiving Substantial Damage Determination data twice a week from the county. As soon as the data is reviewed, letters will be sent out. The first batch of letters was sent out today, Nov. 18.
Currently:
-
437 permits are under review.
-
85 permits are ready to be issued, pending missing information from applicants.
-
120 permits have already been issued.
To help us serve you better, we encourage you to use our online portal at MyTreasureIsland.com/OPPS. This platform allows you to easily apply for permits and track their status from start to finish.
We appreciate your understanding and cooperation as we navigate this challenging time together. City staff is here to support you and is doing everything possible to get permits approved and work underway quickly.
Thank you for your patience. Questions? Call 727-547-4575 ext. 230 or email permits@mytreasureisland.org.
