Staff is not helpful at all. System is not user friendly. Endless amounts of hoops to jump through to get a permit. Staff does not care to assist in any way, can't even point me in the right direction. I pull permits from cities and counties all though Florida. This office should be ashamed of the service they offer. To think it is our tax dollars paying their salaries so they can treat us contractors like we are a thorn in their side.

Just had a new roof completed. Inspector showed up and left an orange card stating no documents were posted. Did not leave a name or a phone number on the card. Docs have been posted all week on a window 15’ from where he left his card.

Literally the worst customer service! License Registration paid, cashed, and now they say pay it again. No response. No call back. Serious nonsense. Licensing is rude and unprofessional and now stealing money.

Without a doubt the WORST building department I have ever dealt with and I deal with them all. You CANNOT get a human on the phone to help you and their website is about as user friendly as a backwards hammer. Even the "online help chat" gave me ZERO help or information. When you call, the prompts just tell you to do everything online, I assume that is because they do not want to help you. I would rather jump off the empire state building headfirst into a thumbtack than ever deal with this bunch of clowns again. Thanks for nothing.
