Like much of south and central <br /> Florida , the population in Manatee County has been steadily increasing . Since the 2000 <br /> census , an estimated 23,000 people have relocated to the county . Along with this increase <br /> in population comes an increase in construction of new buildings and infrastructure . The <br /> Manatee County Building Department is responsible for issuing the permits for this <br /> construction . <br /> In the past, the Building Department's daily procedures involved tedious parcel-level <br /> research using multiple data sources . A good example is the use of cumbersome sets of <br /> static paper maps to delineate property boundaries, future land use , zoning , and flood <br /> prone areas . The data on these maps is only as current as the day it was produced . <br /> Reviewing a permit application using outdated data can lead to a whole host of problems , <br /> including legal issues . <br /> Background cr "' ' Manatee ° J <br /> Well before the groundbreaking <br /> of any new construction , an <br /> extensive building permit <br /> application review is done .
