Hobe Sound FAQ
Common questions about permits, flood compliance, and construction in Hobe Sound.
What makes Jupiter Island construction so complex from a flood compliance standpoint?
Jupiter Island is a narrow barrier island entirely within FEMA's SFHA — primarily Zone VE with direct Atlantic wave action and Zone AE on the Indian River Lagoon side. Every construction project requires expert FEMA V-zone compliance management. The island's ultra-high property values make compliance errors extremely costly.
Does MKC handle Martin County permits for Hobe Sound and Jupiter Island?
Yes. Hobe Sound and Jupiter Island are unincorporated Martin County. MKC manages permits through Martin County Community Development, coordinating all required FDEP CCCL and agency reviews for coastal projects.
Does MKC handle high-value residential construction on Jupiter Island?
Yes. Jupiter Island's luxury residential market — among the highest-value per-capita in the United States — requires expert FEMA compliance, engineering, and permit management. MKC handles high-value coastal renovation and addition projects with full compliance rigor.
What FEMA compliance is required for Jupiter Island properties?
Zone VE properties require open pile foundations, breakaway walls below BFE, and wave action engineering. Zone AE lagoon-side properties must be elevated above BFE with development permits. MKC engineers design compliant systems and prepare complete FEMA packages.
Can MKC handle after-the-fact permits in Hobe Sound?
Yes. MKC handles ATF permit resolution throughout Hobe Sound and southern Martin County through Martin County Community Development.
