Your permit is stuck. We get it moving.

A permit expediter — sometimes called a permit runner or permit puller — manages the permit application process on your behalf from intake to final close-out. That means assembling and reviewing the submittal package before it goes in, filing it with the correct department, tracking it through plan review, responding to review comments, coordinating revisions and resubmittals, scheduling inspections, and closing the permit out at the end. We do not design your project or perform the work; we make sure the paperwork moves and does not sit.

Pricing depends on the jurisdiction, the permit type, and how much of the file already exists. Straightforward residential filings sit at the low end; multi-agency commercial packages, after-the-fact permits and code violation resolutions cost more because they take more work. We quote a flat professional fee up front, separate from the government fees the building department charges, so you know both numbers before we start. Call (866) 314-6931 and we will scope it on the phone.

Broadly: simple residential trade permits run about two to six weeks in most jurisdictions; residential new construction and larger remodels run six to twelve weeks; commercial projects run eight to sixteen weeks or longer where multiple agencies review in sequence; after-the-fact permits and code compliance cases run eight to sixteen weeks because they include an investigation phase. Those are ranges, not promises — the single biggest variable is whether your submittal is complete on the first pass.

Yes. We file in all 67 Florida counties and more than 400 municipalities. Our deepest bench is on the Suncoast — Sarasota, Manatee, Charlotte and Lee — plus Tampa Bay, but we handle Miami-Dade, Broward, Palm Beach, Orange and Duval work daily.

We file as your authorized agent, using your license and your qualifier, with a signed authorization on file. We do not pull permits under our own license on your behalf, because in Florida that raises real licensing exposure for both parties. What we do is make sure your license, registrations and insurance certificates are current in every jurisdiction you file in, so nothing gets rejected at intake.

It is a permit issued for work that was already performed without one. Florida jurisdictions generally allow it, but the process is different from a normal permit: there is usually an investigation fee, often at a multiple of the standard permit fee, the work may need to be exposed for inspection, and you may need sealed drawings or an engineer's letter certifying what was built. It is resolvable. It is not fast, and it gets worse the longer it sits.
