Virtual Inspections

Statewide Coverage Through Virtual Inspections

Overview

Keys Inspection Services is headquartered in Marathon in the Florida Keys. Virtual inspections allow licensed inspectors to evaluate project compliance remotely using live video, photo documentation, and digital reporting tools.

Our inspectors are licensed, insured, and registered in Monroe County and across the state of Florida, providing in-person or virtual inspections depending on the project's logistics and requirements.

Under Florida Statute 553.791, municipalities must accept qualified third-party inspections and plan review from licensed private providers — regardless of whether the inspection occurs in person or virtually. Keys Inspection Services coordinates with your building department to ensure virtual inspection results are accepted and your permit file stays current.

  2. Step 2

    Live virtual inspection

    Your inspector guides you through the inspection via video, documenting conditions and code compliance in real time.

  3. Step 3

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

How do virtual building inspections work?
A licensed inspector conducts the inspection via live video call. You walk the site with your phone or tablet while the inspector evaluates code compliance in real time. Results are documented and submitted to your building department electronically.
What types of inspections qualify for virtual inspection?
All project types apply. 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.
Can Keys Inspection Services inspect projects anywhere in Florida?
Yes. Virtual inspections extend our private-provider service across the state of Florida. In-person or virtual is at the discretion of the inspector and is coordinated with you when we receive the request to schedule.
When is an in-person inspection required instead of virtual?
Eligibility depends on inspection type, project stage, and your building department's acceptance criteria. Many rough and final inspections qualify. Contact us to confirm whether your specific inspection can be done virtually.
How do I schedule a virtual inspection?
Contact us by phone or through our quote request form. We'll confirm eligibility, coordinate with your building department, and schedule a video inspection at a time that works for your project.
