What Is an NTBO? The Florida Contractor's Guide

Everything about filing an NTBO when using a private provider.

The NTBO is a formal notification to the building department that you're using a private provider. It is required under F.S. 553.791, and the form is adopted by the Florida Building Commission. A local enforcement agency may not alter the form.

When to File

At permit application, or at least 2 business days before the first inspection.
