Residential Building Permit

To build or renovate a home, you must apply for a Residential Building Permit from your local building department. Submit detailed plans showing your proposed work. The city reviews these for safety and code compliance. If approved, you receive a permit to begin construction. Inspections are required at key stages to ensure the work meets code. Once the final inspection is passed, a certificate of occupancy is issued, confirming the home is safe to use.

Commercial Building Permit

The Commercial Building Permit process involves obtaining approval from local authorities before starting construction, renovation, or significant alteration of a commercial property. The process begins with submitting detailed plans, including architectural and engineering designs, to the local building department. These plans are reviewed for compliance with safety codes, zoning laws, and other regulations. After approval, a permit is issued, allowing work to begin. Inspections are carried out at various stages to ensure the project meets all standards. Once all inspections are passed, a certificate of occupancy is issued, confirming the building is safe for commercial use.

Contractor Credential Renewal

The Contractor Credential Renewal process in Florida ensures that contractors remain compliant with state and local regulations. To renew their credentials for permits, contractors must update and submit the following:

  1. Certificate of Liability Insurance: Contractors must provide proof of active liability insurance that meets local requirements.

  2. State Licensure: Contractors must maintain and renew their state-issued license through the Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation (DBPR).

  3. Workers' Compensation or Exemption: Contractors with employees must have workers' compensation insurance. Sole proprietors with no employees may file for a workers' compensation exemption.

  4. Local Business Tax Receipt (BTR): Contractors must renew their local business tax receipt to legally operate within the jurisdiction.

Once these documents are updated and submitted, contractors can maintain their ability to work on permitted projects in Florida.

Contractor Registration

The Contractor Registration process during a building permit involves ensuring that the contractor hired for the construction or renovation project is properly licensed and registered with the local authorities. The contractor must submit proof of their qualifications, including relevant licenses, insurance, and bonding. The local building department verifies that the contractor meets all legal and safety standards before issuing the building permit. This process ensures that only qualified professionals handle the work, helping maintain safety and compliance with building codes.

Mobile Notary

The Mobile Notary service involves a notary public traveling to a client's location to witness and certify the signing of documents. Clients typically request a mobile notary for convenience, especially for documents requiring notarization but where the signers are unable to visit a notary office. The notary verifies the identity of the signers, ensures they understand the documents, and witnesses the signing. Afterward, the notary applies their seal and signature to legally authenticate the documents. This service is often used for real estate transactions, legal documents, powers of attorney, affidavits and building permits.
