Fast-Track Permit Approval With Private Provider Plan Review
Under Florida Statute 553.791, we complete the building-code plan review and file the required affidavit, bypassing municipal plan review and triggering a defined timeline to issue the permit.
Immediate Review
Building code plan review done now, instead of waiting for the building department.
Direct Feedback
Immediate feedback from a licensed plan reviewer if there are any code deficiencies.
Fewer Cycles
Fewer resubmittal cycles and faster permit issuance.
Statutory Timeline
Affidavit triggers defined municipal deadlines for permit issuance.
Move Faster Than Municipal Review With Private Provider Plan Review
Most permit delays aren't because the plans are "bad." They happen because plans that look complete still trigger code-level questions, missing details, or trade coordination issues, so the review cycle turns into multiple rounds.
​
With Private Provider plan review under FS 553.791, we complete the building-code review up front and submit the required affidavit. The building department then must issue the permit or provide a written deficiency notice tied to specific code sections within defined business-day timeframes.
​
You trade uncertainty for a clearer, faster path to permit, while still meeting all Florida Building Code requirements.
"We got a clean set of comments tied to code sections and we were able to speak directly to our reviewer to clarify our questions."

​"Tew & Taylor made sure the permit moved on the statutory clock instead of sitting in the backlog after hurricane Milton. I had friends waiting for months, ours moved in weeks."
Construction Manager . Southwest Florida
"The permitting team followed up with the building department to ensure I got the state-mandated private provider discount on my permitting fees. I didn't know about that and was very happy to get the money back."

SETTING EXPECTATIONS
What Plan Review Does for Your Project
What It Is
A building-code plan review performed by a Florida-licensed plans examiner
Culminates in an affidavit certifying code compliance under FS 553.791
Designed to produce a permit-ready submittal that minimizes review cycles
What It Is Not
Not design services or engineer-of-record work
Not a promise that zoning, utilities, ROW, or other non-building-code reviews won't require separate approvals
Not a shortcut around Florida Building Code requirements
Objective: a permit-ready submittal that minimizes cycles, without rewriting your project.
THE PROCESS
Permit-Ready Plans + Statutory Submission
1
We intake plans and define the permit scope
2
Licensed reviewer reviews applicable code requirements; gaps flagged early
3
We issue clear, understandable comments: what to change and where it hits the code
4
Once compliant, we prepare the FS 553.791 affidavit for submittal
5
Permit is processed on the statutory timeline; any municipal building code comments must be provided within the statutory deadline
WHEN IT MAKES SENSE
When the Private Provider Path Pays Off
Plan review is often helpful when:
You're in a jurisdiction with long plan review backlogs
You want tighter predictability with defined statutory response windows
You are getting unclear comments from the building department and want a more simplified process
A short conversation can help determine whether plan review adds value for your situation.
