Remodeling in Westlake Village, Palm Harbor

Westlake Village is a deed-restricted community of 576 single-family homes along with townhomes and villas in Palm Harbor. With a clubhouse, pool, tennis courts, and golf cart paths, it is the perfect place to settle in Tampa Bay. Most of the single-family housing stock dates to the 1970s and 1980s. That age shapes what a remodel here involves: Architectural Committee approval for exterior work, a Pinellas County permit, and a close look at original plumbing and roofs that can affect your insurance.

Do you need HOA approval to remodel in Westlake Village?

Yes, for exterior work. Westlake Village is deed-restricted, and exterior changes go to the Architectural Committee before work starts. The committee replies by email, usually within 1 to 2 weeks.

1. Submit an ARC request. Log in to the Greenacre homeowner portal, open Requests, then ARC Request. Fill in the architectural form, save it, and upload it with drawings, product sheets, and color samples. Paper forms are available at the clubhouse.

1. Committee review: The Architectural Committee reviews it and answers by email within 1 to 2 weeks.

1. Build it into your scheduleA complete package the first time is the fastest path. Missing product details or colors usually mean a second round.

Paint colors: the committee works from Behr color schemes, accepts equivalent colors from other manufacturers, and will consider other schemes that fit the neighborhood’s neutral earth tones.

Townhomes and villas may also answer to their own condo association, so check both before planning exterior work.

Who issues building permits in Westlake Village?

Pinellas County. Palm Harbor is unincorporated, so permits come from the county’s Building Department, not a city. The county says residential permits typically take about 14 days; however, permit review time varies in scope. Pinellas County publishes current residential review times on its live permitting dashboard; additions generally require more review than simpler interior remodels.

- Applications go through the Pinellas County Access Portal. Remodels and additions typically need construction plans, a site plan and product approvals.

- For projects over $2,500, a Notice of Commencement must be recorded with the Clerk of Court before the first inspection.

- Simple jobs can qualify as Express Permits, issued right after payment. Online Express Permits are for licensed contractors only.

What to check in a 1974–1988 Westlake Village home before you remodel

Two things matter most for homes this age: the plumbing and the roof. Both can decide whether you can get or keep homeowners insurance, so it makes sense to deal with them in the same project as a kitchen or bath remodel.

Polybutylene plumbing

Polybutylene pipe was installed in homes between 1978 and 1995, which covers much of Westlake Village. Chlorine in treated water breaks it down from the inside, and failures tend to be sudden. It’s usually gray and stamped “PB2110”, often with crimp-ring fittings, and shows up near the water heater, under sinks, and in the attic. Polybutylene can create insurance underwriting issues. Citizens’ current underwriting guidance, for example, restricts eligibility for older homes with polybutylene plumbing. Homeowners should confirm requirements with their insurer. Replacing it while walls and floors are already open for a remodel costs far less than doing it later on its own.

Roof age and insurance

Under Florida Statute 627.7011, an insurer can’t refuse or non-renew a policy just because the roof is under 15 years old. Once a roof is 15 years or older, the insurer has to let you get an inspection first, and can’t refuse coverage on age alone if the inspection shows at least 5 years of useful life left. A reroof in Westlake Village also needs Architectural Committee approval and a county permit.

Other things G2 checks on houses this age

- Electrical panel capacity, especially before adding an addition, a kitchen with new appliances, or a larger A/C system.

- The existing roof structure and framing, which set what an addition can tie into.

- Original layouts. Many homes here were built with closed kitchens, so opening a wall often means confirming whether it’s load-bearing.

What does a remodel cost in Westlake Village?

Kitchens, bathrooms, and additions are priced to the house, because cabinets, counters, appliances, electrical capacity, and the existing roof and HVAC all change the number.

- Bathrooms: price depends on fixtures, countertops, shower glass, tile and electrical changes. Bathroom remodeling

- Kitchens: cabinetry, countertops, appliances and the electrical plan drive cost. Kitchen remodeling

- Additions: the existing roof, panel capacity, HVAC, framing type and whether the addition includes a bath or kitchen set the price. Room additions

Prices from G2’s Pricing page.

How long does a Westlake Village remodel take to get started?

Plan on roughly 3 to 5 weeks of approvals for exterior work: 1 to 2 weeks for the Architectural Committee and about 2 to 3 weeks for a Pinellas County residential permit, plus the time to prepare drawings. Interior-only projects skip the committee.
