Why use a private provider in Pinellas County?
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 Pinellas County 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 Pinellas County Building Department; zoning, floodplain, site, and other non-building-code reviews stay with the jurisdiction.

Building department vs. private provider in Pinellas County
Contractors still work with Pinellas County 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.

How private provider works in Pinellas County
From plan submission to permit, here is exactly how it works in Pinellas County.
Upload your plans

FCC reviews your plans for Florida Building Code compliance. If approved, you receive stamped plans, the NTBO, and any private provider paperwork required by Pinellas County.
File with Pinellas County
You or your permit tech files the signed NTBO, stamped plans, and permit application with Pinellas County. 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.

FCC files the COC
Once required FCC inspections pass, FCC files the Certificate of Compliance with Pinellas County for the private-provider scope. Jurisdiction-retained items still stay with the AHJ.
Measured on our platform7-day average · Oct 12 – Oct 18
- Request to live inspector
- Offline request to result
- Plan review in workable business hours, start to approved plans
- 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.
