Timelines for with and without a private provider?+
Timelines vary by jurisdiction and project complexity, typically 2–8 weeks. Using our Private Provider services under Florida Statute 553.791 can significantly accelerate plan review compared to the standard building department queue - often saving weeks. We'll give you a realistic timeline estimate for your specific project and municipality.
Is it worth hiring a permit service?+
For most contractors and developers, yes. A permit expediting service saves you time, reduces errors, and reduces the back-and-forth with building departments. Our team understands the permit process across the jurisdictions we work in - we work to prevent avoidable delays, manage corrections, and keep your project moving so you can focus on building.
When do you need a permit?+
In Florida, a building permit is required for most construction, renovation, and repair work - including new builds, additions, re-roofs, electrical and plumbing work, HVAC installations, and even some fence or shed projects. When in doubt, contact us and we'll help you determine exactly what permits your project needs.
What documents do I need to submit?+
Requirements vary by jurisdiction and project type, but typically include signed and sealed construction plans, a completed permit application, proof of contractor licensing, a site survey, product approvals, and energy calculations. Our team reviews everything before submittal to make sure your package is complete and code-compliant.
How does it work?+
It's simple: you tell us about your project, we assign a dedicated coordinator, and we handle everything from document preparation and submittal to department follow-up, corrections, and final approval. You get a single point of contact and real-time status updates throughout the entire process.
What do you charge?+
Our fees depend on project scope, jurisdiction, and services needed. We provide clear, transparent quotes with no hidden fees - typically within one business day of receiving your project details. Government permit fees are separate and paid directly to the issuing jurisdiction.
