LOCAL SERVICES

Building Permits
.
We can get you any type of Building Permit for your project (Master permit, Sub-permits, Revisions, Standalone permit, Over The Counter permit, Owner/Builder permit, etc.). We take care of the permit process from start to finish including permit submission, plan review, resubmission (to correct any comments if needed) and getting the permit issued. We can also do any permit extension, renew/close any expired permit, change of contractor/architect/engineer, and request the Certificate of Occupancy/Completion (CO-CC) for completed jobsites.

Based on your particular project you will have to be reviewed by different departments at your particular city and also county which include Building, DERM, Electrical, Elevator, Environmental, Fire, Flood Plain Management, Impact Fees, Landscaping, Mechanical, Planning & Zoning, Plumbing, Public Works, Roofing, Structural, Urban Forestry, and Water & Sewer.

Most cities in South Florida will require a permit for the following type of work.

Code Violation Repair
.
We specialize in fixing code enforcement violations, stop work orders, unsafe structures, expired permits, and legalization. If you have received a notice of violation it is in your best interest to response as quickly as possible. If you are not familiar with the process it could be a daunting task filled with frustration and disappointment. We offer complete management of the Code Violation Repair process from start to finish and our goal is to become a cost effective and trusted resource for you.

Certificate of Use
.
If your business is located within a City with it's own municipality, you are required to obtain a Certificate of Use (Zoning Permit that allows business to operate within its zoning district) from that City. If your business is located in unincorporated county you are required to obtain a Certificate of Use from Miami Dade, Broward or Palm Beach County.
 

Business Tax Receipts
.
All businesses operating within Miami Dade, Broward and Palm Beach counties are required to obtain a Local Business Tax Receipt (formerly known as Occupational License). If your business is located within a City with it's own municipality, you will also need a Business Tax Receipt from the County and your local City. For the rest of the State of Florida, click here

Private Provider Services

In 2002, the Florida Legislature created Section 553.791 of the Florida Statutes titled "Alternative plans review and inspection". This statute enables the owner of a property, or the owner's contractor, to use a private company called a private provider to provide both building plans review and the required inspections during construction instead of that particular city's building department. The private provider can do one or both of these processes, but interaction with the local building department is still required.

As a Private Provider we can prioritize your project and expedite the process, ability to work after hours, weekends, and some holidays, ability to move as fast as the construction takes place. Some additional benefits for using Private Provider services are cost savings offered by municipalities for the total permit fees.

Notice of Commencement (NOC) and Other Important Recordings
.
We will record your Notice of Commencement with the proper county clerk of courts (Miami Dade, Broward, Palm Beach). Florida Construction Lien Law (Chapter 713, Part One, Florida Statutes) requires the recording of a Notice of Commencement with the Clerk of the Courts for real property improvements greater than $2,500. Many cities in South Florida want a certified copy recorded at the county before they will issue the permit. Other importing recordings include Notice of Completion, Notice of Termination and Release of Lien.

In addition to important construction recordings, we can also record any of your important real estate or civil documents. Please click here for the full list of available recordings.

Asbestos Survey

We Perform Asbestos Testing Service, Fast Service and Turnaround Time. We take care of our customers with same day (when available) or next day service. It takes about an hour to collect the sample and within a few days you will have the lab results and report.

In South Florida, most building departments will require an Asbestos review from their particular county before a permit will be issued. These projects include all demolition or renovation projects, involving commercial buildings or residential buildings with four (4) or more building units affecting 160 square feet, 260 linear feet or 35 cubic feet or more of regulated asbestos containing materials (RACM). An asbestos survey must be completed for all demolition and renovation projects over 160 square feet.

Land Surveying

The Property Survey is a document prepared by a professional surveyor that shows your structure dimensions and other improvements, boundary lines, utility locations, parking, setbacks, and other related information on your property.

Building Departments require a current property survey (produced in the last six months) for all new construction, additions, substantial improvements to a structure, or any outside work such as fence, shed, driveway, or swimming pool. This survey will ensure that all building codes, zoning setbacks and regulations are being met. We can take care of your survey needs from start to finish.

We can refer you a professional Engineer or Architect to make 40/50 Year Building Recertification inspection and report for you and we will take care of permit process with your particular city or county.
 

Short Term Vacation Rental License

We can get you your Short Term Vacation Rental License to rent your private property on a short term basis (in certain cities that allow them) in South Florida, including Miami Dade, Broward and Palm Beach counties. Short term rentals have become popular alternatives to the rental of traditional hotel rooms. It has allowed property owners to earn extra funds from their primary, vacation, and investment properties when they are not using them.

A short-term vacation rental is any dwelling unit or residence including, but not limited to, any unit or group of units in a condominium, cooperative or apartment building that is rented in whole or in part to a transient occupant for a period of less than 30 days or one calendar month, whichever is less.

In addition to property owners, we also work with Hotel/Motel operators and Property Management companies that want to transfer licenses to new owners.

Re-Occupancy Inspection and Certificate Service

A certificate of re-occupancy is required each time there is any transfer of ownership of title for all residential dwellings within the following cities of Biscayne Park, El Portal, Hialeah, Miami Gardens, Miami Shores, Miami Springs, North Miami, and Sweetwater.

Properties will not close without this inspection and issued certificate. Cities defined residential dwellings as any single family, duplex, triplex, or condominium unit. Both the seller and buyer are responsible for obtaining the certificate of re-occupancy. The purpose of the inspection is to ensure that the property is in compliance with the original zoning regulations of that city. 

We will save you valuable time and money by getting this inspection and certificate issued during your allocated closing period.

Beer, Wine and Liquor Licenses
.
To sell beer, wine or liquor in the State of Florida, you must have the correct license from the Florida Division of Alcoholic Beverages and Tobacco Bureau of Licensing.

You must also get approval from your particular city that business is located in and sometimes also the county. If you need help with these approvals we can also help with that. We can take care of your food service license from start to finish.

Change of Use Permit

We can help you get a Change of Use permit. Any new business activity in a space that is different then its previous use will most of the time require a Change of Use permit.

For example, when a retail space changes into a restaurant or if an office changes into a retail space. Plan review is required from the Building Department to ensure that the minimum building and life-safety requirements are complied with.

Most of the time a General Contractor will be needed (even if no work is being done in the space) and also a floor plan of the space must be submitted to the Building Department for review.

Other Business Services
.

During the Permit process you will have to get documents notarized, picked up or dropped off from different locations and you will need blueprints and supporting documents to be made available.  We can take care of these with our Other Business Services.

Mobile Notary Public
As part of the required documentation for city submission, the owner will have to sign and notarize required documents such as permit application(s), notice of commencement and contracts/invoice between owner and contractor.

In addition, your contractor will also have to sign and notarize the permit application and contract for provided work (most cities in South Florida require the contract to be submitted). We will make this process easy for you and can come to your work or home at your convenience. We can also meet with contractor and any subcontractors to notarize their signatures.

Courier
We can pickup required documents needed for permit submission such as blueprints, permit application(s) and supporting documents from you or your Architect, Engineer, Contractor, Sub-Contractors, etc. Most cities want documents and blueprints with original signatures, architect/engineer seals and notary stamps. We can also drop off the permit card(s) and plans to your office, jobsite or other location when permit is issued.

Blueprint Copies and Scanning
After the permit is issued, many jobsites will need copies of the blueprint sets and supporting documents (master and revisions) for their contractor and subcontractors.

In addition, we can increase your storage space by archiving and scanning in your completed jobsites.
