In 14 of the 18 towns, the most common soil in the USDA soil survey is rated "Very limited" in the survey's "Local Roads and Streets" interpretation, which rates soils for building paved roads that carry cars and light trucks all year.
In 16 of the 18 towns, the survey lists "Depth to saturated zone" as a limit for the most common soil, meaning the water table sits close to the surface for part of the year. In 10 of them it also lists "Ponding".
The exceptions are Delray Beach (Pomello, moderately well drained) and Lake Worth Beach (St. Lucie, excessively drained), where the most common soil is rated "Not limited".

Licenses and permits in Florida
Section 163.211 of the Florida Statutes preempts occupational licensing to the state. It let local licenses that existed before 2021 continue only until July 1, 2025.
Palm Beach County's Planning, Zoning & Building Department lists paving and seal coating among the trades that no longer require a license or certificate of competency. The same notice tells homeowners to check references, ask for proof of insurance, get a detailed written contract and avoid paying the full price up front, and says the work may still require a permit.
For driveway aprons, Palm Beach County Engineering says permits come from the owner of the road. The Florida Department of Transportation handles driveway connections to state roads.
