The county review clock. The next permit action.

The permit review clock in FL Permit Pay: a Pinellas permit at 97 days, past its §553.792 review window and marked late, and the next action on it, BLD-2026-04417, with Open permit and View paperwork.
Real product capture · sample data
The clock counts work days and flags the permit when the window runs out. You enter the applied date, the status and the review case. Permit Hub is not in the 14-day trial. Recording permits, county mail and the review clock start when you pick a plan.

On the Permit & Compliance plan, $149 a month. Put the whole crew on it. Nobody pays per person.

This is an example. We built it from the dates you typed. We take your applied date as the day the county got a complete application. We do not check it. A written waiver is recorded on the permit when you mark one, and a waived permit is never reported as late.

With no scenario chosen, the clock uses the 30-business-day default. The 30, 60, 12 and 10-day tiers and the 10% per late business day reduction were already law before HB 803. HB 803 added only the 5-day tier, effective July 1, 2026, and our source does not settle whether it reaches applications filed earlier. So for a 5-day application filed before July 1, 2026 we show no clock, no lateness and no fee reduction, and ask you to pick the track that applied when you filed.

The clock runs, pauses, or stops with the permit status.

Running

Submitted or in review

The clock starts once your team enters the applied date.

Paused

Corrections

The clock pauses. A fresh clock after corrections is not modeled.

Resolved

Decided or later

Approved, issued, inspections, finaled, expired, or void stops the clock.

5 business days on the new HB 803 tier

Fla. Stat. §553.792, as amended by HB 803

Say it is single-trade work under $15,000 on a house that already stands. If a local plans reviewer looks at it, the shot clock is five business days.

HB 803 added this tier on top of the existing 553.792 deadlines. Knowing which tier a permit sits on is the difference between waiting and following up.

Sourced to Fla. Stat. §553.792, as amended by HB 803. Confirm current requirements with the issuing authority.

Keep the estimate next to the permit, not in place of the county's record.

Add a permit with its applied date and pick its review type. The clock counts from there.

Permit Hub is not in the 14-day trial. Recording permits, county mail and the review clock start when you pick a plan.
