Private Provider Alternative Plan Review & Inspections
Private Provider Alternative Plan Review & Inspections
Pursuant to Florida Statutes, this program allows the "Fee Owner" the option of using a third party to conduct plan review and inspection duties in lieu of the municipal building department personnel. All third-party agencies MUST be vetted and approved by the City before conducting any inspections. An approved provider must employ one or more qualified professionals and/or inspectors from the required disciplines, based on the scope of work of the project.
Floodplain, Planning, Environmental Resources, and Fire inspections MAY NOT be conducted by an engineer, architect, or private provider. City staff from perspective departments will conduct all necessary reviews and inspections related to these permitting functions.
New Private Provider Program requirements became effective on January 1, 2025
