FAQ
Private Provider Inspections — Common Questions
Where does FCC provide private provider inspections in Florida?
FCC is registered in 55 Florida counties with 205+ building department registrations, covering approximately 75% of the state's permitting activity. FCC serves building departments in these regions: Space Coast & Treasure Coast, Southwest Florida, Tampa Bay, Central Florida, Palm Beach County, and North Florida & the Panhandle. Each regional page lists the building departments where FCC is taking new projects today. Virtual inspections eliminate geographic limitations within our coverage area.
Can I get same-day private provider inspections near me in Florida?
Usually, yes, during business hours, anywhere in our 55-county coverage area. FCC performs its inspections virtually, where the applicable code allows it. Live virtual inspections connect you with a licensed inspector via video call in minutes. Offline inspections, with GPS-tagged photos and video, return results in minutes. No inspection window to book, and no waiting for an inspector to drive to your site.
Do I still use the building department if I use FCC for inspections?
Yes. You still submit the permit application, NTBO, permit fees, and any jurisdiction-required paperwork through the local building department. FCC handles the private-provider plan review and eligible inspection scope under FL 553.791, transmits FCC-scoped inspection results, and files the Certificate of Compliance after required FCC inspections are complete.
What types of building inspections does FCC perform?
FCC performs eligible BMEP and Florida Building Code inspections, including common structural, roofing, HVAC, electrical, plumbing, pool, solar, and final inspection milestones when they fall inside the private-provider scope. Zoning, fire, public works, utilities, right-of-way, drainage, and similar jurisdiction-retained inspections stay with the building department or AHJ.
