Overview

Plan Review Services

Municipal plan-review backlogs stall roofing, pool, residential, and commercial projects. Keys Inspection Services performs private provider plan review under Florida Statute 553.791, in place of the building department.

Licensed reviewers check plans against the Florida Building Code and local amendments, then issue approval or correction comments. Once plans are approved, the building department has the statutory 20-day path to issue the permit.

Plan review covers permitted work across Florida, including roofing, pools and enclosures, residential improvements, new homes, and commercial buildings.

Process

How It Works

  1. Step 1

    Submit plans & scope

    Send your construction documents, scope of work, and jurisdiction details. We confirm eligibility under Florida Statute 553.791 and outline the review timeline.

  2. Step 2

    Code compliance review

    Our licensed reviewers evaluate plans against the Florida Building Code and applicable local amendments, issuing clear comments and corrections as needed.

  3. Step 3

    Approval or correction comments

    After the inspector reviews the plans and associated documents, we provide either approval documentation or comments for corrections. Once plans are approved, we submit the permit package to the building department or permitting office.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

What is private-provider plan review?
Private-provider plan review is when a licensed third party — rather than your local building department — reviews construction plans for Florida Building Code compliance. Under Florida Statute 553.791, municipalities must accept qualified private-provider plan review and issue permits within 20 days, often with discounted fees.
How does Florida Statute 553.791 affect plan review?
Statute 553.791 authorizes property owners to use a licensed private provider for plan review and inspections. When you do, the municipality must discount certain permit fees and issue the permit within 20 business days — rather than the open-ended timelines common with overloaded building departments.
How long does plan review take with Keys Inspection Services?
Timelines depend on project complexity and plan completeness. Our goal is to turn around reviews faster than municipal departments, with clear comments so you can resubmit efficiently. Contact us with your project scope for a realistic timeline estimate.
Who can use private-provider plan review?
Contractors, developers, design professionals, and property owners on residential and commercial projects throughout Florida can engage a licensed private provider under Statute 553.791, subject to local jurisdiction acceptance.
Are permit fees lower with a private provider?
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 a service in place of the department. In our experience, permit fees are typically discounted about 25% when a private provider handles both plan review and inspections, and about 15% when the private provider handles inspections only.
