Inspektr is registered as a private provider across Florida and files into county and municipal building departments statewide. Florida Statute 553.791 is state law, so the process, the deadlines and your rights are identical in all 67 counties.
Coverage is usually the hidden cost of expansion. A contractor entering a new county normally needs someone who already knows that building department, which makes hiring a precondition for opening the market.
The private provider framework removes that. One registration, one process, one set of statutory clocks, in every county below.
| Provision | Applies statewide |
|---|---|
| Permit application review | 10 business days, or 5 for a single-trade review on a one or two family dwelling, then deemed approved. F.S. 553.791(8)(b) |
| Certificate of occupancy | 10 business days, or 2 for one and two family dwellings, then automatically granted. F.S. 553.791(16) |
| Inspection records | Delivered to the building official within 4 business days. F.S. 553.791(14) |
| Commercial permit fee | Reduced by at least 25% or 50%, or the agency forfeits all fees. F.S. 553.791(2)(d) |
| Virtual inspections | May not be prohibited or limited by a local agency. F.S. 553.791(19)(c) |
| Audits | No more than four per year, with 5 business days notice. F.S. 553.791(22) |
All 67. Inspektr is registered as a private provider across Florida and files into county and municipal building departments statewide. The private provider framework in F.S. 553.791 is state law, so the process and the statutory deadlines are the same in every county.
No. That is the usual arrangement contractors arrive with, and it is what makes entering a new market expensive. One private provider registration covers the whole state, so opening in a new county does not require a new permitting relationship or a coordinator who already knows that building department.
Yes. Section 553.791(23) provides that a local government, local enforcement agency, local building official and building code enforcement personnel may not prohibit or discourage the use of a private provider or private provider firm. Section 553.791(19)(a) bars a jurisdiction from imposing standards more stringent than the statute prescribes.
Yes. The deadlines are statutory, not local. A permit application the jurisdiction does not act on within 10 business days, or 5 for a single-trade review on a one or two family dwelling, is deemed approved as a matter of law under F.S. 553.791(8)(b), in every Florida county.
