Frequently Asked Questions

What projects require a building permit?

Most structural, electrical, plumbing and mechanical work requires a permit in Florida. This includes new construction, additions, remodels, roofing, fencing, pools, HVAC systems and more. Even some cosmetic changes like replacing windows and doors may require permits. When in doubt, contact us — we'll tell you for free.

How long does it take to get a permit?

Processing times vary by city and project type. Simple permits can be issued in 1–2 weeks, while complex projects may take 4–8 weeks. We follow up with the city at every step to ensure no delays — and we know exactly how to expedite the process when needed.

What documents do I need to apply for a permit?

Requirements vary by project, but typically include: site plans, architectural drawings, contractor license information, property folio number and completed application forms. We prepare and submit all required documents on your behalf — you don't need to deal with the city at all.

What happens if my permit is denied or delayed?

Denials or delays are usually caused by incomplete documentation or plan deficiencies. We handle all revisions and resubmissions at no extra charge. Our experience with local building departments means we anticipate common issues before submission — reducing rejections significantly.

How much does a permit cost?

Permit fees are set by the city and depend on the type and value of the work. They typically range from $100 to several thousand dollars. Our service fee is separate and covers all preparation, submission and follow-up. Contact us for a free, no-obligation quote tailored to your specific project.

Can you legalize work done without a permit?

Yes — this is called an "after-the-fact" permit. We specialize in retroactively legalizing unpermitted work, including additions, conversions, electrical and plumbing changes. It protects your property value and clears any open violations. Call us to assess your specific situation.
