Commercial Permit Expediting in Florida

Commercial Projects We Support

Multi-Agency Approvals

Depending on the location and scope, a commercial building permit may depend on approvals outside the building department. We identify which ones apply early and track them in parallel where the process allows. Common examples include:

• Zoning – use, parking, setbacks, signage and site plan compliance.
• Fire – life-safety plan review, sprinkler and alarm coordination.
• DERM – environmental review in Miami-Dade County, often tied to sewer, water and grease-related items.
• Health and food-service agencies – where the type of business requires their review.
• FDOT – when work, driveways or connections affect a state road.
• Water and sewer utilities – capacity letters, connection approvals and meter sizing.

Some projects also need permits that fall outside the standard building path, such as right-of-way or maintenance of traffic. Those are covered on our special permits page.

Who We Work With

• General contractors – who need a dedicated permitting resource without adding staff.
• Developers – managing shell, core and tenant permits across one or more sites.
• Architects and engineers – who want their drawings submitted correctly and comments routed back cleanly.
• Business owners – opening or relocating a restaurant, store, office or clinic.
• Property managers – handling tenant turnovers, repairs and building upgrades.

How It Works

1. Scope review. Share the address, intended use and plans or concept. We identify the permits and agency approvals the project is likely to need.
2. Flat-rate proposal. You receive one upfront price for our services on the project.
3. Submittal preparation. We assemble applications, owner and contractor authorizations, drawings, calculations and agency forms.
4. Submission as authorized agent. We file through the jurisdiction’s portal, such as ProjectDox, or in person, and open the related agency reviews.
5. Comment resolution. We track each discipline, relay comments to your architect or engineer, and resubmit responses.
6. Issuance to closeout. After issuance we help coordinate inspections, sub-permits and the final certificate. Our over-the-counter permit services cover the steps that come after.

Design Services Through Licensed Partners

If you do not have a design team yet, we can arrange signed and sealed architectural, structural, MEP, civil, landscape and MOT drawings through licensed partner professionals. See our permit drawings service for details. When the job needs a licensed contractor, we can also refer one.

Why Work With Fast Pass Permits

• Upfront flat rate – one price for our work, agreed before we begin.
• Agency coordination – we look past the building permit to the approvals that can hold it up.
• Experience with South Florida processes – including Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach counties and municipalities across the state.
• Organized communication – your team knows what is pending, with whom, and what is needed next.
• Defined role – we act as your authorized agent; licensing stays with the contractor of record.

Evaluating a building before you sign a lease or buy? Start with permit research and due diligence, and if the property has old open permits, see open and expired permits. For homes, visit residential permit expediting.
