Permitting, plan review and inspections on a single volume agreement across every brand and branch, or pay per inspection with no minimums. No re-inspection fees either way.
For commercial construction projects, F.S. 553.791(2)(d) requires the local enforcement agency to reduce the permit fee by at least 25 percent of the portion attributable to plan review or building 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, F.S. 553.791(2)(b) bars the jurisdiction from charging plan review or inspection fees where a private provider performs them. Those percentages are floors rather than caps, and in practice the reductions our customers see run from 25% to 85% depending on the jurisdiction and the mix of services we perform. Read the full provision.
Most of this market quotes a floor rather than a price, and prices re-inspections separately. Those two things interact, because the re-inspection is the one you cannot predict. Here is the same month priced both ways, for a contractor running 40 inspections with 4 of them needing a correction.
| Inspektr | A floor price with re-inspection fees | |
|---|---|---|
| 40 inspections | 40 × $99 = $3,960 | 40 × $99 = $3,960 |
| 4 corrections | $0 | 4 × re-inspection fee |
| Rate certainty | The quoted rate is the rate | "As low as" is a floor, not a ceiling |
| Month total | $3,960 | $3,960 plus whatever the corrections cost |
The point is not the arithmetic, which is obvious. It is that a correction is a normal part of construction, and a pricing model that charges for it turns a routine event into a variable cost you cannot budget. We do not charge for it, and the rate above is the whole rate.
Stating this here rather than letting you discover it later.
No contract term and no minimum volume. We work with single companies running a few inspections a month and groups running thousands across several companies.
Inspektr's standard rate is $99 per inspection with no minimums and no re-inspection fees. Multi-location and multi-brand operators can put every company on one volume agreement.
Permit submission is priced per project and depends on jurisdiction and scope. It is quoted alongside plan review and inspection volume rather than sold as a standalone line item, because the economics for a multi-branch operator depend on the mix.
No. If a submission needs corrections, the item is fixed, re-recorded and resubmitted at no additional charge.
Often, and for commercial work the reduction is a statutory minimum. F.S. 553.791(2)(d) requires a Florida jurisdiction to reduce a commercial 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. On any project, F.S. 553.791(2)(b) bars the jurisdiction from charging plan review or inspection fees where a private provider performs them.
