Overview

Building Inspections

Municipal inspection backlogs stall roofing, pool, and residential projects. Keys Inspection Services performs private provider building inspections under Florida Statute 553.791, in place of the local building department.

A licensed inspector checks Florida Building Code compliance on site or by live video. Corrections come with a path forward, and the results are reported to the building department for sign-off.

Inspections cover common permitted work across Florida, including roofing, pools and enclosures, and residential improvements, scheduled with 24-hour notice.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a private-provider building inspection?
A private-provider inspection is conducted by a licensed third-party inspector registered with your municipality, rather than a municipal building inspector. Results are submitted directly to the building department under Florida Statute 553.791.
What does 'solutions, not just fail notices' mean?
When our inspectors find a deficiency, we explain what's needed for compliance and suggest practical alternatives to keep your project moving. We focus on helping you pass the next inspection, not just documenting failures.
How quickly can I schedule an inspection?
We schedule inspections around your construction timeline, not a municipal backlog. Contact us 24 hours prior to your required inspection time and we'll coordinate a time that works for your project.
Do private-provider inspections reduce permit costs?
Yes. Florida Statute 553.791 requires building departments statewide to give a fair and reasonable discount on project permit fees when a private provider performs inspections in place of the department. In our experience, that discount is typically about 15% when we handle inspections only, and about 25% when we handle both plan review and inspections.
Can inspections be done virtually?
All private-provider inspections can be done virtually at the discretion of the inspector, which will be coordinated and discussed with the client upon receiving the request to schedule the inspection.
