The Florida rules we do the work on
8 rules, 67 counties, one state. Permits and the review clock come with every paid plan, from $149 a month. The 14-day trial leaves them out.
One state, so the dates can be exact.
Building for one state is what lets the software do the counting. It knows the Notice to Owner runs from your first day on the job. It knows the county's review clock runs from the day your application was complete, in business days. It checks your DBPR license against the state's own file every week.
You put in the dates you already know: when the application went in, when you started, when you finished. The deadlines come out on the job, with the statute next to each one.
Your team still files with the county. We hold the record and the clock.

- Suit filed byFri Nov 19, 2027One year after it is recorded § 713.22(1)
The lien dates assume the lien is recorded on its last day. They skip weekends and not holidays, so a date here is never later than the real one. Review clock: Estimate from the applied date. Confirm with the building department; deadline tracking, not legal advice.
8 rules, and what the software does about each one.
- CountsThe county's review clock§ 553.792
Five review tracks, counted in business days from a complete application. When the county runs late it estimates the fee reduction the statute allows, and it stops counting while your application is in corrections.
- ExtendsPermits caught by a declared emergency§ 252.363
A declared emergency tolls the permit clock and adds time. It works out the new expiration and the date your notice is due.
- ComputesThe four lien dates, from your own job§ 713.06§ 713.08§ 713.22
Notice to Owner at 45 days from your first day on the job, the lien at 90 days from your last, service within 15 days of recording, and suit within a year. Weekends roll the way Chapter 713 rolls them.
- GeneratesThe Notice of Commencement§ 713.13
The form with the owner warning printed word for word and the notary block in place. Anything it cannot answer from the job is left blank and listed, never invented.
- WarnsRetainage above the public caps§ 255.078§ 218.735With Operator, $399 a month
On public work it flags a percentage above the caps and quotes the statute next to the number. It warns. It never blocks your own bid.
- ChecksYour DBPR license, weeklyCh. 489
Against the state's own public licensee file. If your license is not in the file, it says it could not verify. It never says active.
- TracksInsurance claim windows§ 627.70132With Operator, $399 a month
The 12-month and 18-month clocks, from the date of loss on the claim.
- BlocksAdvertising that would put your license at risk§ 489.119
It will not publish a contractor site missing the license number, or one claiming licensed, insured or certified without the paperwork on file.
Every county, labeled for what stands behind it.
67All 67 Florida counties are selectable on every permit. Each one carries one of three labels.
- Reviewed by a person
Someone read that county's own published permitting source. Nothing else is allowed to set this label.
- Checked by machine, every day
An automated check reached the county's own page and cleared it. It is labeled as weaker than a person everywhere it shows.
- Statewide code, and it says so
No county source has cleared yet. You get the statewide Florida Building Code and Chapter 489 baseline and a link to the county's portal. No county rule is invented to fill the gap.
