Florida Construction PermittingPowered by Kodie
Permit expediting · Statewide Florida

Permits filed clean, tracked through to issuance.

We prepare, file, and push your permit through review anywhere in Florida — and every set runs through Kodie, our AI plan reviewer, before the building department ever sees it.

Is your permit stuck?

Most of the permits that land on our desk are not new applications — they are jobs already in review that stopped moving. If any of this sounds like yours, it is fixable, and it is the call we take most often.

  • Rejected before a reviewer ever saw it

    Kicked back at intake for a missing Notice of Commencement, an out-of-date form revision, unsigned or unsealed sheets, or an upload the portal wouldn’t take.

  • Third round of comments on the same set

    You’ve answered the corrections twice and the same items keep coming back — or a different reviewer opened brand-new ones on the resubmittal.

  • A correction letter nobody can decode

    Comments that cite a code section without saying what the examiner actually wants to see on the sheet, so every resubmittal is a guess.

  • Filed in the wrong place

    Submitted to the county when the municipality has jurisdiction, or missed a required parallel review — zoning, fire, DERM, health department, or the water management district.

  • The application is about to go void

    Nothing has moved in months and the clock on your application or permit is running out, which means starting over and paying again.

Get this permit moving

How it works

Four steps, and you are only involved in the first one.

  1. Send us your plans

    Upload the set with the address or folio and the scope of work. If a permit is already in review, send the permit number and the last comment letter too.

  2. Kodie pre-reviews it

    We run the package through our AI plan reviewer against the code and jurisdiction rules that apply to that address, then fix what it flags — while it still costs nothing but time.

  3. We prepare and file the package

    Forms, affidavits, NOC, product approvals, and supporting documents assembled the way that specific building department wants them, then submitted on your behalf.

  4. We track it through to issuance

    We watch the review, chase the departments that go quiet, write the comment responses, manage resubmittals, and stay on it until the permit is issued.

What we handle

The parts of a submittal that quietly cost you weeks.

Jurisdiction-specific submittal requirements

Every building department wants the package its own way — sheet order, digital signature format, separate trade applications, and its own checklist. We file to the local standard, not a generic one.

Notice of Commencement

Prepared, notarised, and recorded with the Clerk of Court, then filed into the permit record where the jurisdiction expects it.

Product approval & NOA packages

Florida Product Approval numbers and Miami-Dade NOAs pulled, checked against the design pressures on your plans, and compiled with the installation details reviewers ask for.

Forms and applications

Permit applications, owner-builder and subcontractor affidavits, energy and truss documents, and the trade forms that ride along — completed and signed in the right order.

Resubmittals and comment responses

A written response to every comment, cross-referenced to the revised sheet, so the reviewer can clear the item without hunting for what changed.

Permit status tracking

We monitor the portal, keep a record of where each review sits, and tell you what is actually holding it up rather than that it is "in review".

Who we help

General contractors & subs

Keep your crews scheduled instead of parked. We carry the paperwork and the portal while you run the job.

Homeowners & owner-builders

First time in front of a building department? We handle the filing and tell you plainly what is required of you.

Architects & engineers

Hand off submittal logistics and comment tracking so your team stays on drawings, not on hold with the county.

Property managers & investors

Turnovers, build-outs, and violation-driven permits across multiple properties and jurisdictions, tracked in one place.

Why the Kodie pre-check matters

Most permits are not rejected because the design is wrong.

They are rejected because something was missing, unsigned, unlabelled, or did not match what that jurisdiction asks for. A product approval that does not cover the design pressure on the sheet. An NOC that was never recorded. A form from last year’s revision. None of that is a design problem — and all of it is catchable before the package is submitted.

So we check first. Kodie reviews your set against 1,000+ verified Florida code and local jurisdiction rules — the statewide Florida Building Code plus the county and municipal requirements that apply at your address — and flags the completeness and documentation gaps a plans examiner would write you up for. We clear those, then file.

It is a pre-check, not a promise. The examiner still has discretion, and we would rather tell you that now than sell you a guarantee no one in this business can make.

Questions people actually ask

What does permit expediting cost?

There is no flat rate, and anyone quoting you one before seeing the job is guessing. What we charge depends on the jurisdiction, the permit type, and whether we are filing something new or taking over a permit already in review — a re-roof in one city and a commercial build-out in another are not the same work, and a permit sitting on its third round of comments is different again. Send us the plans and the address and we will quote a flat fee for that specific permit before we start, so there is a number in front of you before you commit. Government fees — permit, plan review, recording, and any impact fees — are paid to the jurisdiction and are separate from what we charge.

How long does it take?

That depends on the building department and their current queue, and it is the part nobody can honestly promise. What we control is our side: the package goes in complete, comments get answered quickly instead of sitting for a week, and nothing waits on us. We will tell you the realistic review timeline for your jurisdiction up front rather than a number you want to hear.

Can you take over a permit that is already in review?

Yes — that is a large part of what we do. Send the permit number, the current plan set, and the last comment letter. We will read the review history, work out what the examiner is actually asking for, and take it from there. You do not need to withdraw and start over in most cases.

What jurisdictions do you cover?

We file throughout Florida. Our jurisdiction data is deepest in South Florida — Miami-Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach, including their municipalities — and Kodie checks against statewide Florida Building Code plus the county and municipal requirements we have verified. If we do not already have your jurisdiction loaded, we will tell you before you commit.

What do you need from me to start?

The plan set (PDF is fine), the project address or folio number, the scope of work, and the licensed contractor or owner-builder details for the application. For most jurisdictions we also need a signed authorisation naming us as your agent. If a permit is already open, add the permit number and the latest correction letter.

Can you guarantee my permit gets approved?

No, and be careful with anyone who says otherwise. The plans examiner has discretion we do not control, and a design issue is a design issue no matter how well the package is assembled. What we can do is make sure the submittal is complete, correct, and answers the requirements before it goes in — which is where most rejections come from.

Florida Construction Permitting is a permit expediting service. We are not a substitute for a licensed design professional, and we do not control the decisions of the authority having jurisdiction. Kodie is a reference tool used to prepare submittals — always confirm against the adopted Florida Building Code edition and your local jurisdiction’s requirements.
