Florida Private Provider Paperwork Checklist
If you are using a private provider under F.S. 553.791, the key is knowing what FCC provides, what your contractor or permit team still files, and which details can vary by jurisdiction. FCC handles the private-provider review and inspection scope. Your team still handles permit filing and NTBO submission.

FCC Provides vs Your Team Files
What paperwork is usually involved in a Florida private-provider workflow?
Most Florida private-provider jobs involve approved plans, a Notice to Building Official, and sometimes a private-provider packet for the jurisdiction. FCC can provide the private-provider paperwork tied to the approved scope, including the NTBO and supporting documents when needed. Your team still files the permit application and submits the NTBO and other jurisdiction-facing paperwork. Later in the job, FCC sends inspection results and files the Certificate of Compliance when the required FCC inspection scope is complete. The exact document list, signatures, and filing order can vary by jurisdiction and project type.
What FCC usually provides
FCC handles the private-provider review and inspection side of the workflow, not the permit-filing side.
- Approved and stamped plan-review documents tied to the private-provider scope.
- Notice to Building Official paperwork for your team to file with the jurisdiction.
- Private-provider packet and supporting documents when the building department requires them.
What your team still files
The contractor, business owner, permit coordinator, or expediter still handles the jurisdiction-facing submission steps.
- Permit application and any normal local intake paperwork.
- NTBO submission with the building department after signatures are in place.
- Any project-specific local forms, attachments, or routing steps required by that jurisdiction.
What happens later in the job
Initial permit paperwork is only part of the workflow. Closeout has its own documents too.
- FCC sends inspection results to the building department after completed inspections.
- FCC files the Certificate of Compliance after the required FCC inspection scope is complete.
- Jurisdiction-retained items like zoning, fire, utilities, drainage, and similar local requirements still stay outside FCC's scope.
This page works best when the role split is obvious. FCC provides the private-provider documents and handles the review-and-inspection record. Your team still handles the filing side with the jurisdiction.
