5, 10, 12, 30 or 60 business days by permit type
The building official has a set window to say yes or no. They get 5 more work days to tell you the application is short.

Sourced to Fla. Stat. §553.792. Confirm current requirements with the issuing authority.
What we check, what you keep, what the county owns.
- Step 1
Review the sourced pre-check
All 67 Florida counties get an answer. Where we have checked your county's own rules, you get those. Otherwise you get the statewide rule, labelled as one, with your county's portal.
- Step 2
Find the company permit record
Find the permit notes your crew typed in, and narrow them down to one job.
- Step 3
Maintain dates and inspections
Keep status, dates, inspection notes, and related documents together, entered by your own team.
- Step 4
Confirm the authority record
Before an inspection or a draw, call the building department and match your record to theirs. Their file is the official one.
Keep the permit record moving.
Check the county's requirements and track every permit in one place.
