Why use a private provider in Jacksonville?

A Florida private provider is a licensed professional you hire under F.S. 553.791 for plan review and building code inspections instead of waiting on Jacksonville Building Department. FCC reviews plans (single-family reviews in hours) and runs live and offline virtual inspections. You still file the permit and NTBO with Jacksonville Building Department; zoning, floodplain, site, and other non-building-code reviews stay with the jurisdiction.

Building department vs. private provider in Jacksonville

Contractors still work with Jacksonville Building Department for permit issuance, permit fees, zoning, floodplain, site, and other non-building-code reviews. FCC handles the private-provider plan review and eligible inspection scope so the code-compliance parts of the job do not sit in the same queue.

Jacksonville Building Department

  • Issues the permit and collects jurisdiction fees.
  • Receives the permit application and NTBO from your team.
  • Retains zoning, floodplain, site, and other non-building-code reviews.

Freedom Code Compliance

  • Reviews plans for Florida Building Code compliance.
  • Performs eligible live or offline virtual inspections.
  • Transmits FCC-scoped results and files the COC when FCC inspections are complete.

How private provider works in Jacksonville

From plan submission to permit, here is exactly how it works in Jacksonville.

  1. Upload your plans

    Submit your construction documents through the myFCC app for Jacksonville projects. We confirm receipt and begin review.

  2. Get your plan review

    FCC reviews your plans for Florida Building Code compliance. If approved, you receive stamped plans, the NTBO, and any private provider paperwork required by Jacksonville.

  3. File with Jacksonville

    You or your permit tech files the signed NTBO, stamped plans, and permit application with Jacksonville. Private provider review under FL 553.791 can shorten the review portion of the timeline and may reduce permit fees depending on scope and jurisdiction.

  4. Request inspections

    Request inspections through the myFCC app when the work is ready, by live video or offline submission.

  5. FCC files the COC

    Once required FCC inspections pass, FCC files the Certificate of Compliance with Jacksonville for the private-provider scope. Jurisdiction-retained items still stay with the AHJ.

Workable time is the time our team can act on your plans during business hours (weekdays 9–5, Fridays 9–4 ET). It’s how long a compliant submission with no blockers takes us to review and approve within business hours. Time waiting on you, like corrections or a quote out for approval, isn’t counted.

No scheduling required. You simply request the inspection when the work is ready. Live inspection requests are taken Monday to Friday, 9 am to 4:30 pm ET; offline inspections can be submitted any time.
