Sick and tired of having to call in asking for help and only gets greeted by an attitude by someone who uses the online system every single day and only has to know ONE on-line portal system. I kept telling the gentleman on the phone that i apologize for frustrating him but this was my FIRST time using their portal to pull permits. Please learn to be patient; individuals who have to file permits for companies have to learn over 20 + online portal systems in all cities and jurisdictions. Horrible service - please replace the individual that answers the e plan review line at the building dept and move him to a dept that does not require him to help customers over the phone.

If I could give o stars I would... horrible and rude customer service when calling... it's almost impossible to get a hold of anyone for a simple question and no one has answers... I had to call at least 10 to 15 times and I got hung up on 3 times. Ridiculous! so glad I don't live in Palm beach county. ughhhhh

As We Know going to a government facility to obtain permits it's like trying to get an act of Congress. However I am pleased to report at this facility that was not the case. As I stood back and watch the employees interact with the public I noticed that not one employee had a negative attitude. Each employee was professional courteous and helpful. When it came down to my issues I left there with the feeling that I received all of the available information that I need it. This is an example of government money spent well!

Questions & Answers

When applying for a permit , can I pay an extra fee to expedite the process?

Chelsea Hatton | Sep 7, 2019

Yes you can for some trade permits. Example...a re roof permit can be expedited by the contractor, and only as long as the new roof will be the same roof type as the existing. Shingles, metal, etc must be replaced with the same.

We have an existing electrical permit for a restaurant at 4400 Hypoluxo Rd. We need an electric temporary set at the job site. I have already contacted FPL. How can we get a permit? Will it fall under the existing electrical permit?

James Wilson | Apr 9, 2022
Buster Ecks | Apr 9, 2022

There are a series of follow up questions to your posed question. This may fall under your current permit just as it may require a new permit depending on various attributes of your current permit. You're best to contact the Permit Help Desk to obtain the answer specific to you.

It depends on the age of your lot. You can contact the Building records Dept. in your municipality and see if they have an old survey of your lot or property. If you are planning to do new structural jobs you will need a survey 1 year or less.

Are there any specific requirements, to have a new employee at our company submit & pick-up permits?

James Braddock | Sep 7, 2019
Craig Mihalko | Sep 7, 2019

I believe as long as the contractor has signed and is notarized, to drop off is ok. To pick up they just need to bring the original copy of the receipt that has red stamp on it that states this document must be presented for permit pickup. If you don't hVe it then the contractor would have to pick up

Kathryn Willis | Sep 7, 2018

By the time you pay the 2 permit fees of 50 plus dollars each plus the fee for the certificate of commencement it comes to about $150. And then you'll have to call in for your inspection. Make sure you have 2 certified copies of A current survey and all your property information.

Does an exterior front door have to open out or in

Mykal Samson | Sep 7, 2018
Michael Cushman | Sep 7, 2018

Any exterior door should open outward, as to resist the winds from a hurricane. A door that opens inward can be blown open very easily. Also inward opening doors are easy for thieves or police to kick down, as the deadbolt is the only attachment point on the weak side.
