Heating and cooling in Pompano Beach
Pompano Beach's Building Department Fee Schedule, updated 2/10/26, lists a residential A/C change out at $65 up to a 4-ton system, plus $20 for each additional ton or fraction, as its columns read. An A/C and furnace change out is $70 up to 4 tons. The same $20 per additional ton applies. The city's Air Conditioner Change Out Checklist, updated 9/19/2019, says installing, altering or majorly repairing any air conditioning system requires a Mechanical Permit.
The checklist wants the Broward County Uniform Permit Application (Mechanical) and the AHRI Certificate of Product Ratings. It also wants the Broward County Uniform Data Form for A/C replacements and a tie-down detail based on a Florida Product Approval or a Miami Dade Notice of Acceptance, or signed and sealed engineer plans. There's one mechanical final inspection, and a Notice of Commencement applies when the contract price is greater than $7,500.00 for a mechanical change-out.
Emergency replacements have a deadline. The application must be in by the next working business day. Building Inspections is at 100 W. Atlantic Blvd. Its fax is 954.786.4677. Owners occupy 55.5% of Pompano Beach's occupied homes (ACS 2020 to 2024). On a residential change out of 4 tons or less, that puts the permit at $65, or $70 with a furnace.

Permits for heating and cooling work in Pompano Beach
Florida cities and counties issue the permit for replacing an air conditioner, heat pump or furnace, and each sets its own fee; the state's $7,500 small-job permit exemption leaves out mechanical work. DBPR certifies or registers the air-conditioning contractor, so ask for that license number as well as what your permit office needs.
