Protecting Our Rights

Protecting property owners’ rights is essential for security and stability for our city. These rights embody the fundamental principle of autonomy, empowering individuals and businesses to make decisions about their assets and investments. When safeguarded, we are incentivized to invest in new projects, driving improvements that drive revenue and provide a bright future for NSB.

We are here to advocate and support property owners for variance requests and/or land development code change requests related to plans for improvement of real estate property. This aligns with our core value of defending reasonable property rights usage and that we feel both protect your property rights and progress NSB forward in to a positive new era. We welcome growth that aligns with maintaining the unique beach town vibe that NSB is today.

Our members consist of a diverse group of property owners and professionals who understand micro and macro economics and the benefit of positive, sustainable growth. The magic can happen when you welcome investment in to our community which will create a thriving harmonious future.

NSBPIA is the voice and support for property owners. Whether residential, commercial, business owners, developers, builders, or anyone who has a positive plan and would like to improve their property. Our goal is to fuse relationships between city officials, permitting, code, and enforcement offices and residents who want to positively change their property. Aligning improvements in processes and bringing the community together as one.

In addition to our efforts in supporting our neighbors, we will be holding charity events and sponsoring local causes.

Current Owner Advocacy Issues

Building Better City and Citizen Relationships

Creating synergy between city officials, planning and permitting, code enforcement.

Tree and Landscape Management

Owners should have the right to cut their own trees down on their property regardless of size or species.

Grading
Due to recent flooding a property owner should be able to install retaining wall and increase grade to whatever height he deems necessary to protect his property from flooding as sea levels rise. 
Retaining Walls
Due to recent flooding and increased sea levels, property owners should reserve the right without denial to install a retaining wall to protect their property.
Remove Density Maximums
All properties zoned mixed use or commercially zoned  in NSB, especially on Flagler ave should be able to utilize valet parking and remove all density maximums. Heights should also be raised to four stories which is still a mid rise in order to make new development economics viable. 
Pool Decks and Impervious Area
A property owner should reserve right to install a pool deck in rear set back. Current regulations prohibits and restricts the areas in which you may install pool decks which by nature restricts a property owner’s rights of use of property.
