How It Works

Three Steps to Get Started

  1. Step 1

    Request plan review or inspection

    Call or email your request. We review your project needs, then start plan review or book your inspection with 24-hour notice so your timeline stays on track.

  2. Step 2

    Plan review or virtual / in-person inspection

    We review your plans for Florida Building Code compliance, or perform the required inspection — virtual or in person — in place of the local building department.

  3. Step 3

    Coordinate with the building department

    We submit plan-review approvals or inspection results to your building department so your permit file stays current and your timeline stays efficient.

FAQ

Service Area Questions

Can I use a private provider instead of my local building department?
Yes. Florida Statute 553.791 lets property owners and contractors hire a licensed private provider for plan review and required building inspections in place of the local building department. The building department still issues the permit and keeps the permit file, and we submit plan-review approvals and inspection results to them.
Does Keys Inspection Services serve all of Florida?
Yes. We provide private-provider plan review and building inspections statewide, virtual or in person depending on the project and inspection. The Florida Keys are our home market for local, in-person coverage. Permitting support is available in Monroe County only.
Which Florida Keys municipalities do you serve?
Our inspectors are registered with municipalities throughout Monroe County, from Key Largo to Key West. Contact us with your project address and we'll confirm registration status.
Can inspections be performed virtually?
Yes. Inspections can be performed virtually or in person at the discretion of the inspector. We coordinate the approach with you when we receive your request to schedule.
How quickly can an inspection be scheduled?
Give us 24-hour notice and we'll book your required inspection, virtual or in person, around your construction schedule. Contact us by phone or through the quote form to get started.
What types of construction projects do you inspect?
Roofing, pools and enclosures, residential improvements, new home construction, marine construction, and commercial projects. If your project needs a building permit and building department inspections, we can usually help. Contact us and we'll confirm what you need.
How does Florida Statute 553.791 work?
Florida Statute 553.791 allows a licensed private provider to perform plan review and building inspections in place of the local building department. The statute sets review timelines for qualifying private-provider permit applications and requires building departments to reduce applicable fees. Requirements and exceptions vary by project, so we confirm the details for your job.
