Direct Answer

What is a Florida private provider?

A Florida private provider is a licensed alternative to the local building department for plan reviews and inspections under F.S. 553.791. FCC handles the review and inspection scope. Your team still handles permit filing and NTBO submission.

Who Uses It
Where the Private Provider Route Fits Best

Single-trade contractors

Good fit for HVAC, roofing, solar, plumbing, electrical, pool, aluminum, and window-door work.

  • Fast plan reviews help permits move before the crew is ready to install.
  • Virtual inspections help crews avoid waiting around for public inspection windows.

Home builders

Useful when build timelines are getting stretched by review backlogs and phase-to-phase inspection delays.

  • Single-family plan reviews average 24 hours.
  • Virtual inspections reduce dead time between milestones.

Commercial teams

Best when the schedule risk is coming from plan review queues, revision cycles, and inspection timing.

  • Commercial plan reviews average 2 business days.
  • Live and eligible offline inspections help phased work keep moving.
