## Key definitions

Private Provider: A state-licensed entity authorized under Florida Statute 553.791 to perform building plan reviews and inspections as an alternative to the local building department. Same legal authority, faster turnaround.

FL 553.791: The Florida statute (enacted 2002) that establishes the private provider program, allowing contractors to hire licensed private providers instead of relying solely on the building department.

HB 803: The current 2026 Florida bill contractors should watch for private-provider fee and process updates. It should be read alongside Florida Statute 553.791.

NTBO (Notice to Building Official): A form filed with the local building department notifying them that a private provider will perform plan review and/or inspections. The contractor or building owner files this — the private provider does not.

Certificate of Compliance: A document issued by a private provider after a project passes all required inspections, confirming the work complies with the Florida Building Code.

Virtual Inspection: A building inspection conducted remotely via live video call or GPS-tagged photo/video submissions, authorized under FL 553.791.
