Your all-in-one permitting partner

We pull the permit, review the plans, and inspect the work

One provider from application to final, whether you are a single company handing off permitting entirely or a group running twenty-five companies. Under Florida Statute 553.791 our inspection is the required inspection, so there is no county scheduling window and no crew standing on site waiting for an inspector who may not come today.

Not another software layer

We do the work. Software just shows you where it stands.

Workflow software helps your team push permits through the county. Inspektr replaces the county’s part of the job. Under Florida Statute 553.791 our licensed professionals perform the plan review and the inspections the building department would otherwise perform, and our permit techs file and track the permit. Our result is the legal result.

Speed

One job, two paths

The standard is the same Florida Building Code either way. What changes is who holds the queue and how long they are allowed to hold it.

One company or twenty-five

The same process at any size

A single company can hand the whole job to us and stop running permitting in-house. A group that grows by acquisition can put every company it owns on the same provider, the same checklists and the same record, instead of inheriting a different process with every deal.

One view across every company

Every company and branch in one account, with reporting by company, branch and county. Permit cycle times become comparable instead of anecdotal.

Fully outsource it

We handle the permit, the plan review and the inspections, so you do not need a permit coordinator, and working in a new county no longer depends on hiring someone who knows its building department.

We come to the companies you acquire

When you buy a company, our account managers go to its office and walk the team through the process: how it works, what changes for them, and how much time and effort it saves. The company keeps its name, license and customers, and is onboarded in 2 to 4 weeks.

A record that holds up in diligence

Every inspection timestamped on video and kept for 10 years, every permit tracked to closeout. Open permits get closed on a statutory clock instead of found in a lender review or a sale.

The economics

Permitting is a throughput constraint, not a line item

The permit costs a few hundred dollars. What it gates is a crew. A job cannot start until the permit issues, cannot move until the inspection passes, and cannot be invoiced until it closes out. Every day of latency is capacity you have already paid for and cannot sell, and across a multi-brand operation it compounds by every crew you run.

Jobs per crew

The same crews, more completions

Crews waiting on a scheduled county inspection window are the largest recoverable capacity in most trade operations. Removing the window converts that into additional completions per crew per week, with no hiring.

Days to cash

Closeout is working capital

Final invoicing waits on permit closeout. Open permits aging at 30, 60 and 90 days are revenue recognized and not collected. Compressing closeout pulls cash forward across every open job at once.

Permit fees

Fee reductions the statute requires

The jurisdiction may not charge plan review or inspection fees for work a private provider performs, and on commercial projects must cut the permit fee by at least 25 to 50 percent. Customers typically see reductions of 25 to 85 percent.

Statutory leverage

Deadlines you can actually enforce

Under F.S. 553.791 a permit application the jurisdiction does not act on in time is deemed approved as a matter of law, and an unanswered certificate of occupancy request is automatically granted. Those are rights, not favors.

Run the numbers for your operation

Visibility

See every job from application to final

We do the work. The portal is how you watch it happen, and the app is how your techs and subs record inspections on the phone already in their pocket.

One screen for every job

Each project moves across the same six stages: full package, plan review, permit applied, permit issued, inspections and closed.

Anything running long is flagged in red, so you know when the county is sitting on a permit.
The status column says where each job stands and what happens next.

The law

Florida rewrote this statute on July 1, 2026

CS/CS/HB 803, enacted as chapter 2026-63, Laws of Florida, renumbered nearly every subsection of F.S. 553.791 and changed what jurisdictions are allowed to do. Private providers have been part of Florida law since 2002, and the 2026 rewrite made the framework stronger, not weaker. Most of what is published online still describes the old version.

Coverage

Every Florida county, one relationship

Inspektr is registered as a private provider across Florida and files into county and municipal building departments statewide. For a multi-branch operator that means entering a new market does not require a new permitting relationship, and it does not require finding a coordinator who already knows that building department.

Every Florida county. The statutory process and the deadlines are identical in all of them, because F.S. 553.791 is state law rather than a local program.

Common questions

What does Inspektr do?

Inspektr is a Florida private provider. We prepare and submit building permits, perform building code plan review, and perform the inspections, under Florida Statute 553.791. All three run on one project record, in every Florida county, so nothing waits in a handoff between vendors.

Is Inspektr a software company?

No. Inspektr is a licensed Florida private provider. Our permit techs file your permits, our licensed plans examiners review your plans, and our licensed inspectors perform your inspections. The portal and app are how your team submits work and sees status. What you are buying is the work itself.

Can we run every brand we operate on one account?

Yes. One account covers every brand and branch, with reporting by brand, branch and county. Each brand keeps its own name, license and customers.

How long does onboarding take, including for a company we just acquired?

Two to four weeks. We start with a demo call, run ten test permits through the full process, then complete onboarding for the whole company. For a company you acquire, our account managers also go to its office to walk the team through how the process works and how it saves them time and effort.

Does Inspektr integrate with our field service software?

Not as a direct integration yet. Projects can be entered in the portal or imported in bulk, and project data exports to Excel for your own reporting.

Does a private provider inspection replace the county inspection?

Yes. Under Florida Statute 553.791, a private provider inspection is the required inspection rather than an additional one. Section 553.791(16)(a) allows the local building official to inspect construction a private provider found compliant only where the official has knowledge that the private provider did not perform the required inspections, and requires written notice of the facts relied on before doing so.

Will my city or county accept it?

Yes. The private provider framework is Florida state law, not a local program. Section 553.791(23) provides that a local government, enforcement agency, building official and code enforcement personnel may not prohibit or discourage the use of a private provider. Inspektr is registered as a private provider across Florida.

How fast is it?

Permit packages are submitted within one business day of our having what is needed to file. Plan review runs in one to two business days. Inspections happen on demand rather than in a scheduled window. After that the statutory clocks apply: the building official has 10 business days to act on a permit application, or 5 for a single-trade review on a one or two family dwelling, and a certificate of occupancy request must be answered within 10 business days, or 2 for one and two family dwellings.

Can my county refuse to accept virtual inspections?

No. Section 553.791(19)(c), effective July 1, 2026, provides that a local enforcement agency may not prohibit or limit private providers from using virtual inspections where a virtual inspection is not prohibited by any applicable code.

Do I save on permit fees?

For commercial construction projects, Florida Statute 553.791(2)(d) requires the jurisdiction to reduce the permit fee by at least 25 percent of the portion attributable to plan review or inspection services, and by at least 50 percent where a private provider performs all required services. An agency that fails to apply the reduction forfeits the ability to collect any fees for that project. On all projects, section 553.791(2)(b) bars the jurisdiction from charging plan review or inspection fees where a private provider performs them.

Is this hard for field technicians?

No. A guided workflow tells the technician exactly what to capture, with a trade-specific checklist. Technicians who will not download an app, or who do not speak English comfortably, can be sent a one-time guest link that opens in a mobile browser with no install.

What trades do you work with?

HVAC, roofing, solar, pool, electrical, plumbing, windows and doors, generators, water heaters, EV chargers, screen enclosures and garage doors. The model fits highest where a contractor repeats the same install at volume across multiple markets.
