Permit Help in Florida, Start to Finish

Getting a building permit in Florida means dealing with online portals, document checklists, product approvals, plan review comments, multiple agencies and inspection schedules, and every building department handles them a little differently. One missing document or one unanswered comment can cost weeks.

Fast Pass Permits is a Florida permit expediting firm. We prepare your application, assemble the supporting documents, submit as your authorized agent, track every review, answer reviewer comments and follow through until the permit is issued. When a project needs drawings or a licensed contractor, we coordinate those too, so you have one point of contact instead of five.

We work with contractors, homeowners, developers, architects, property managers and business owners on projects of every size, from a fence or a water heater to a commercial build-out or new construction.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does a permit expediter do?

A permit expediter manages the permit process for you: figuring out what the building department requires, preparing and submitting the application and documents, tracking plan review, answering reviewer comments and following up until the permit is issued. It saves contractors and owners the time spent on portals, phone calls and resubmittals.

Do you pull permits under your own license?

No. Fast Pass Permits is a permit expediting firm, not a contractor. The permit is issued to the licensed contractor or, where allowed, to the property owner. We prepare and submit everything as their authorized agent. If you need a licensed contractor, we can refer one.

How much does permit expediting cost?

It depends on the type of permit, the scope of work and how many agencies are involved. We quote a flat rate for each project upfront, so there is no hourly billing. Government permit fees are separate and set by the jurisdiction.

How long does it take to get a building permit in Florida?

It varies by jurisdiction, project type and how many review disciplines are involved. Simple permits can be issued quickly; larger projects can take weeks or months of review. A complete, correct submittal and fast responses to comments are what shorten the timeline, and that is our job.

Do you work outside South Florida?

Yes. We handle permits in all 67 Florida counties and take projects in other states as well.

Can you help if my permit was rejected or is stuck in review?

Yes. We review the comments or the status, figure out what the reviewer needs, coordinate any revisions and resubmit. Many stalled permits only need a clear, complete response.
