Florida S1234 modifies building permit and inspection processes, allowing private providers for inspections and plans review.

Florida S1234 revises building permit and inspection procedures, allowing property owners or contractors to use licensed private providers for plans review and inspections. It mandates that local governments must reduce permit fees if private providers are used. The bill sets specific timeframes for permit approvals and requires private providers to maintain insurance and submit inspection records. It also limits local governments' ability to charge additional fees for using private providers and exempts certain small-scale projects from permit requirements.
