Private Provider Process Broward County
A straightforward explanation of how private-provider plan review and inspection services work for eligible construction projects in Broward County, Florida.
What Is the Private Provider Process?
The Private Provider Process in Broward County allows a property owner to hire a qualified Florida private provider to perform eligible building-code plan reviews, inspections, or both. The city or county still reviews applicable municipal requirements, issues the permit, and provides final project approval.
How the Broward County Process Works
Confirm the Jurisdiction
Determine whether the property is handled by unincorporated Broward County or a municipality such as Hollywood, Fort Lauderdale, Davie, Plantation, or Pompano Beach.
Select the Provider
The owner selects a properly qualified private provider and authorizes that provider to perform plan-review services, inspections, or both.
Submit the Required Package
The permit package generally includes the current Broward County permit application, private-provider notice, owner authorization, professional credentials, insurance documents, and construction plans.
Complete Reviews and Inspections
The private provider reviews applicable Florida Building Code disciplines and submits the required reports and certifications. Zoning, fire, utilities, engineering, and other agency reviews may remain with the jurisdiction.
Important Broward County Detail
Private-provider requirements can differ between Broward municipalities. Using the wrong form, outdated application, incomplete insurance documentation, or improperly formatted plans can delay acceptance.
Does a Private Provider Issue the Permit?
No. A private provider does not replace the local building department. The appropriate Broward County jurisdiction remains responsible for permit issuance and the final Certificate of Completion or Certificate of Occupancy.
