How the work runs ## How a Beverly Beach job usually runs 1. **Permit through the county** Building and engineering go to Flagler County Central Permitting; older town permits are held by Flagler Beach. 2. **Small-lot plan** We plan the machine route, your keepers and the debris truck around neighbors on both sides. 3. **Clearing** We take out the brush and permitted trees by saw and small machine and grub the footprint where a house goes. 4. **Hand-off** We haul the debris and leave the lot tidy and ready for sod or landscaping. Last Updated: November 8, 2026 Beverly Beach is one of the smallest towns in Flagler County: about 1.1 miles long and a quarter mile wide on the barrier island between the Atlantic and the Intracoastal, mostly homes, a few commercial parcels and a large RV campground on both sides of A1A. [Sunward Palm Coast Land Clearing](https://sunwardpalmcoastlandclearing.com/) clears lots, cuts brush and grinds stumps there, on lots where access matters more than size. The permitting changed recently. Since January 1, 2026, the town has used Flagler County for building permitting and engineering and development review, through the county’s Central Permitting office, while permits from the past ten years stay with the City of Flagler Beach, which used to act as the town’s agent. Neither Palm Coast’s nor Flagler Beach’s rules carry over automatically, so we confirm the tree and clearing requirements for your lot with the county before we schedule anything. The ground is island sand. The town’s soil sample is mapped as dredged sand, somewhat poorly drained made land, and dry sandy ground on the island can hold gopher tortoise burrows, where work within 25 feet needs an [FWC permit](https://sunwardpalmcoastlandclearing.com/guide/gopher-tortoise-before-clearing/). Lots are narrow and close together, so we work mostly by saw and small machine, fence your keepers and do [selective clearing](https://sunwardpalmcoastlandclearing.com/selective-clearing/) around the palms and oaks. Overgrown scrub next to a home is a fire risk worth cutting back, as our [fire hazard guide](https://sunwardpalmcoastlandclearing.com/guide/palm-coast-wildfire-hazard-lots/) explains for nearby Palm Coast. We haul the debris, since [burning](https://sunwardpalmcoastlandclearing.com/guide/burning-land-clearing-debris-flagler-county/) can’t meet Florida’s setbacks on a lot along A1A. ## What a Beverly Beach job usually looks like Most work in a town this size is small: scrub and palmetto cut back from a house and its walkways, a few trees removed for an addition or a pool, palm and pine stumps [ground below grade](https://sunwardpalmcoastlandclearing.com/stump-grinding/), or one of the remaining vacant lots opened for a new home. Access comes off A1A, so we plan where the truck and trailer park, how the machine reaches the back of the lot without crossing a neighbor’s yard, and how we keep the street clear while loading. On island sand we cover cleared ground quickly with chips or planting so it doesn’t blow onto the neighbors. Where a new home is going in, we grub the footprint to clean sand and keep the rest of the lot as natural as your plan allows, in the same order as our [lot clearing](https://sunwardpalmcoastlandclearing.com/lot-clearing/) on the mainland. Why the order matters ## How a Beverly Beach clearing is scoped ### County permits now Since January 1, 2026 the county handles the town's building permits, so we write your scope to its process. ### Small lot, careful work Saws and small machines suit narrow island lots better than a large mulcher. ### Nothing burned Florida's burn setbacks can't be met on A1A, so we plan the debris as a haul from the start. Places, routes and the permit office ## Beverly Beach on the map ### Landmarks that matter to clearing - **Flagler County Central Permitting**: handles the town's building permits since January 1, 2026 - **SR A1A**: runs the length of the town, with an RV campground on both sides ### Routes in - SR A1A - SR 100 - Palm Coast Pkwy ### Permit office Flagler County Central Permitting, (386) 313-4003: building permitting and engineering for the Town of Beverly Beach since January 1, 2026. *Beverly Beach and its neighbors, plotted from each area's center-point coordinates.

Since January 1, 2026, the town uses Flagler County for building permitting and engineering and development review, through the county's Central Permitting office. ### Where are older Beverly Beach permits kept? The town says permits from the past ten years are held by the City of Flagler Beach, which acted as its permitting agent. ### What does clearing a Beverly Beach lot cost? Our typical range for a quarter-acre lot is about $800 to $3,000, and most Beverly Beach lots are smaller than that. Tight access and hauling all the debris push a job up within it. ### Are tree rules in Beverly Beach the same as Palm Coast's? No. Beverly Beach is its own town, and with permitting now through Flagler County, the tree and clearing requirements for a particular lot are confirmed for that address with the county. ### Can brush be burned on a Beverly Beach lot? No. Florida's rules set residential pile burns 300 feet from occupied buildings and 100 feet from paved roads, which a narrow island lot on A1A can't meet. ## Nearby service areas - [**Flagler Beach**About 3 miles between center points](https://sunwardpalmcoastlandclearing.com/service-areas/flagler-beach/) - [**Palm Coast**About 5 miles between center points](https://sunwardpalmcoastlandclearing.com/) - [**Marineland**About 11 miles between center points](https://sunwardpalmcoastlandclearing.com/service-areas/marineland/) Get a Beverly Beach clearing estimate Send the address, what you plan to build or tidy, and a few photos.
