MEMORANDUM
MONROE COUNTY
To: Board of County Commissioners
County Administrator Roman Gastesi
County Attorney Robert Shillinger
From: Christine Hurley, Assistant County Administrator
Date: March 8, 2016
SUBJECT: NON-ROGO Building Permit Applications & Building Permits —
Florida Building Code Time Limitations, Null and Void, and Expiration of Permits
The Florida Building Code, Fifth Edition (2014) Building sets forth permit application timelines and
issued permit timelines. Florida Statutes 468.604 states the responsibilities of building code
administrators, plans examiners, and inspectors. These regulations are shown below. Following those
are two tables (pages 8-11) with information related to the number of Monroe County open permit
applications and issued permits, of which the vast majority has not progressed in a manner to maintain
validity under the statute. The tables also include pros and cons, that could be expected with voiding
these open applications and/or expiring these issued permits. Following the information on permit
applications and issued permits is a summary of policies (pages 12-13) of Monroe County municipalities
regarding the issue of expired permits.
The Florida Building Code fails to provide adequate assistance on the issue and states in Section
105.4.1.1 that "if work has commenced and the permit is revoked, becomes null and void, or expires
because of lack of progress or abandonment, a new permit covering the proposed construction shall be
obtained before proceeding with work."
Pursuant to the below Statute (468.604), the Building Official "shall inspect" the work performed.
FLORIDA STATUTES (2015)
468.604 Responsibilities ofbuilding code administrators, plans examiners, and inspectors.---
(]) It is the responsibility of the building code administrator or building official to administrate,
supervise, direct, enforce, or perform the permitting and inspection of construction, alteration, repair,
their governmental jurisdiction, when permitting is required, to ensure compliance with the Florida
9luilding Code and any applicable local technical amendment to the Florida Building Code. The-
Milding code administrator or building official shall faithfully perform these responsibilities without
interference ftom anyperson. These responsibilities include:
(b) The inspection of each phase of construction where a building or other construction permit has
been issued. The building code administrator or building official, or a person having the appropriate
building code inspector license issued under this chapter, shall inspect the construction or installation
to ensure that the work is performed in accordance with applicable sections of the code.
Page 1 of 13
In short, the County Attorney's office, working with the Building and Planning and Environmental
Resources Departments, have indicated Florida law is rather clear that the County would have sovereign
immunity protection regarding any potential negligent performance of building inspections. However,
the County Attorney's office has indicated the law is less clear as to what protection the County
would have for not doing the inspection at all. It would appear that the duty imposed by Section 468.604
above, taken in context with FBC 105.4.1.1 and 101.3 ("The purpose of this code is to establish the
minimum requirements to safeguard the public health, safety and general welfare through structural
strength, means of egress facilities, stability, sanitation...") could act to waive our sovereign immunity
and expose the County to liability if no inspection is performed and a permit is administratively deemed
"closed".
FLORIDA BUILDING CODE (FBC)
Permit application
§105.3.2 Time limitation of application states "an application for a permit for any proposed work shall
be deemed to have been abandoned 180 days after the date of filing, unless such application has been
pursued in good faith or a permit has been issued; except that the building official is authorized to grant
one or more extensions of time for additional periods not exceeding 90 days each. The extension shall
be requested in writing and justifiable cause demonstrated. "
Monroe County uses the term "null and void" for applications that have been abandoned.
Issued permit
§ 105.4.I.Permit intent states in part "... every permit issued shall become invalid unless the work
authorized by such permit is commenced within six months after its issuance, or if the work authorized
by such permit is suspended or abandoned for a period of six months after the time the work is
commenced."
§ 105.4.1.1 states "if work has commenced and the permit is revoked, becomes null and void, or expires
because of lack of progress or abandonment, a new permit covering the proposed construction shall be
obtained before proceeding with the work."
§ 105.4.1.2 states "if a new permit is not obtained within 180 days from the date the initial permit
became null and void, the building official is authorized to require that any work which has been
commenced or completed be removed from the building site. Alternately, a new permit may be issued on
application, providing the work in place and required to complete the structure meets all applicable
regulations in effect at the time the initial permit became null and void and any regulations which may
have become effective between the date of expiration and the date of issuance of the new permit. "
§ 105.4.1.3 states "work shall be considered to be in active progress when the permit has received an
approved inspection within 180 days. This provision shall not be applicable in case of civil commotion
or strike or when the building work is halted due directly to judicial injunction, order or similar
process. "
Monroe County uses the single term "expired" for issued permits that have either become invalid or null
and void, or are suspended, abandoned, or revoked.

(e) Miccosukee and Seminole chickee huts. Chickees constructed by the Miccosukee Tribe of Indians or the Seminole Tribe
of Florida require a land development permit. The term "chickee" means an open -sided wooden but that has a thatched
roof or palmetto or other traditional materials, and that does not incorporate any electrical, plumbing, or other non -
wood features. Chickees shall comply with part II of this Code and shall be subject to code compliance.
Sec. 6-103. - Issued permits.
(a) Permit intent. A permit issued shall be construed to be a license to proceed with the work and not as authority to
violate, cancel, alter or set aside any of the provisions of the Florida Building Code and other technical codes. Nor
shall issuance of a permit prevent the building official from thereafter requiring a correction of errors in plans,
construction, or violations of this Code.
(b) Permit time limitations. Every permit issued shall become null and void unless the work authorized by such permit is
commenced within six months after its issuance, or if the work authorized by such permit is suspended or abandoned for
a period of six months after the time the work is commenced. Work is considered commenced if it has received an
approved initial inspection pursuant to permit requirements or an approved temporary electrical inspection. Any valid
permit, for which construction has commenced, must progress in a timely fashion. The only method by which timely
valid progress of authorized work may be demonstrated is through the building department's having performed and
approved an inspection that is highlighted in red print on the building permit display card within 180 days measured
from either:
(1) As to the initial inspection, the date work was required to begin; or
(2) As to inspections subsequent to the initial inspection, from the date of the last approved inspection that was
highlighted in red print on the display card.
(c) Approved inspections. These inspections that are highlighted in red print on the display card, as amended from time to
time by the building official, may include, but shall not be limited to: any auger/auger cap; piling/piling cap; grade
beam/slab; column/tic beams; slab/wood floor; roof trusses/sheathing; final roofing; A/C ductwork, total rough
plumbing, total rough electrical; framing; insulation/drywall, final mechanical; final plumbing; final electrical and
final building.
(d) Failure to obtain inspections. Failure to obtain an approved inspection within 180 days of the previous approved
inspection shall constitute suspension or abandonment that shall render the permit null and void. Any work completed
without an approved inspection may be subject to code compliance.
(e) Extensions. After work is commenced, a one-time only extension of time for a period of not more than 180 days, may be
allowed by the building official for the permit, provided the extension is requested in writing and justifiable cause is
demonstrated prior to the expiration date. Any extension request shall be accompanied by a nonrefundable fee.
(1) Demolition permits (special case). Any permits for the demolition of a structure shall expire 60 days from the date of
issuance. No extensions shall be allowed.
Sec. 6-144. - Inspections prior to issuance of certificate of occupancy.
In addition to the inspection requirements of section 105, Florida Building Code, the following inspections and
inspection elements shall be required as deemed necessary by the building official:
(1) Slab inspection. A slab inspection shall be made after the reinforcement is in place, all concealed conduit,
piping, ducts and vents are installed and the electrical, plumbing and mechanical work is complete. Slab
shall not be poured until all required inspections have been made and passed.
(2) Foundation survey. A foundation survey prepared and certified by a registered surveyor shall be required
for all new construction prior to approval of the framing inspection. The survey shall certify placement of the
building on the site, illustrate all surrounding setback dimensions and shall be available at the jobsite for
review by the building inspector. In lieu of providing a survey, the contractor may elect to uncover all
property line markers and string -up all property lines in preparation for inspection.
(3) Framing inspection. The framing inspection shall include all elements identified in section 105.6, Florida
Building Code, and installation of window/door framing.
(4) Insulation inspection. An insulation inspection shall be made after the framing inspection is approved and
the insulation is in place.
(5) Sheathing inspection. Sheathing fasteners installed and found to be missing the structural member (shiners)
shall be removed and properly reinstalled prior to installation of the dry -in material.
Page 5 of 13
(6) Roofing inspection. The roofing inspection shall be made as two inspections on tile, slate or similar roof
coverings or as one inspection on all other roof coverings.
(7) Final inspection requirements.
a. After the building or work is completed, final inspections shall be made for every permit for work
requiring plan review and approval or related to public health, safety, and welfare, as determined
by the building official. Any permit requiring a final inspection shall be so annotated on the
issued permit.
b. It is the responsibility of the permit holder to call for a final inspection. Failure to obtain a final
inspection shall render the permit null and void, if it is not done within the duration limits for the
permit as specified in this chapter. The permit holder is subiect to code compliance, if
construction is completed and no required final inspection is made. If the permit becomes null
and void, no further work is authorized without a new permit or approval by the building official.
CURRENT MONROE COUNTY APPLICATION / PERMIT STATUS
There are over 50,000 open permit applications and permits that have not progressed in a manner to
keep them valid. These statistics, as of February 1, 2016, may be found in the tables on pages 8-11 and
in Attachments A - F.
Attachment D also lists those specific permit types that both the Building Official and Planning Director
believe may be closed without additional inspections, the total of which is 4,702, as of February 1, 2016
as follows:
• Alarms
• Blasting
• Curbing
• Dredging
• Fence
• Painting
• Stucco
• Flagpoles
• Floor Covering
We will be closing these permits shortly.
We have now closed all permits that were in our computer system that were transferred to the City of
Marathon and Islamorada, since they were incorporated.
As of 2013 permit applications for construction in the floodplain have a permanent retention period
pursuant to the State of Florida General Records Schedule GS1-SL for State and Local Government
Agencies (eff. October 1, 2013) and these cannot be closed without inspections. This schedule is
regulated through the Florida Administrative Code, specifically as follows.
Florida Administrative Code Chapter 1B-24.003 Records Retention Scheduling and Disposition
(1) The Division issues General Records Schedules which establish minimum retention requirements for
record series common to all agencies or specified types of agencies based on the legal, fiscal,
administrative, and historical value of those record series to the agencies and to the State of Florida. The
General Records Schedules established by the Division, which can be obtained at
htt-o://dos.mvflorida.com/libr- rc ives�/recor s- ale ent/general-records-schedules`/, are
incorporated by reference: (a) General Records Schedule GS1-SL for State and Local Government
Agencies (https://www.flrules.orp,/GatewU/reference.asp?No=Ref-04998, eff. 2/19/15).
Page 6 of 13
Prior to October 17, 2012 there was a minimum fee of $500.00 to renew an expired building permit. A
September 15, 2008 memo to staff from the Building Official regarding the procedure is included as
Attachment G. The current procedure to renew an expired building permit may include a permit
investigation. In such cases there would be no fee if it is concluded that the permit has passed all
required inspections. If there are outstanding required inspections, then a fee of $50.00 per hour for staff
review would be charged, with a minimum fee of $50.00. Re -opening of the permit would also have a
separate fee of $50.00 per discipline (electrical, plumbing, mechanical, etc.)
The software the County uses does not automatically expire permit applications after their 180
application period, nor does the software expire issued permits if they have not received a passed
inspection within 180 days after issuance or after the previous inspection. There are pros and cons to
implementation of these activities. Many communities struggle with these issues and the County has put
together the staff recommendations on how to deal with each of these categories.
Florida Statutes 468.604 does not provide guidance regarding how to handle permits that have lapsed for
an extended period of time. If it is determined by the County Attorney that the State legislature has not
pre-empted local governments from legislating on this subject, the BOCC could adopt an ordinance that
amends Section 6-144 of the current code that would establish such procedures.
Finally we are a ordering a software upgrade that can include notification modules, including but not
limited to proactively notifying contractors and owners that have permit applications and issued permits
that are about to expire and that have expired. Purchase and implementation of this could take
approximately one year.

SUMMARY OF POLICIES BY MONROE COUNTY MUNICIPALITIES REGARDING
EXPIRATION AND CLOSING OF PERMITS
Local municipalities were asked the following questions:
1. Did your community create a memo or administrative instruction for the closure of permits?
2. Which codes do you use to address the closure ofpermits?
3. Does your community "close "permits automatically if they are not a life safety issue?
4. If it is a life safety issue what is the process to get those permits closed out?
City of Layton
1/2.The City of Layton (Layton) adheres to the Florida Building Code (FBC) and therefore has indicated
that a written procedure is redundant.
3. Layton does not close permits automatically for any reason. When a permit has expired, in
accordance with the FBC, the owner and contractors are notified via Certified Mail explaining the issue
and the need for compliance. If compliance is not met, then the matter is heard by the Code Board
Hearing, where they can be fined up to $250.00 per day. Layton concurs it is a small community and
monitoring the status of Building Permits is much easier than in larger communities.
4. For sites which are experiencing life safety issues Layton will disconnect services as authorized
below:
FBC § 112.3 Authority to disconnect service utilities.
The building official shall have the authority to authorize disconnection of utility service to the building,
structure or system regulated by this code and the referenced codes and standards set forth in Section
101.4 in case of emergency where necessary to eliminate an immediate hazard to life or property or
when such utility connection has been made without the approval required by Section 112.1 or 112.2.
The building official shall notify the serving utility, and wherever possible the owner and occupant of
the building, structure or service system of the decision to disconnect prior to taking such action. If not
notified prior to disconnecting, the owner or occupant of the building, structure or service system shall
be notified in writing, as soon as practical thereafter.
Islamorada. Village of Islands
1. Islamorada, Village of Islands (Islamorada) acknowledges that there is a significant issue regarding
the closure of building permits. What compounded the issue was the introduction of multiple software
programs and that the migration of inspection data and other fields were not entirely successful.
Islamorada does not have a directive or written procedure in regards to the closure of building permits.
3. Any permits that are ten years or older are closed since the statute for records retention does not
require Islamorada to keep the information.
4. If a permit is requested involving "life safety element", the present owner is required to apply for
"final" inspections and is charged a basic fee for the inspection.
It is current policy to remind contractors and owner builders to get the final inspections.
City of Key West
1. The City of Key West (Key West) also acknowledges that the expiration of permit has been
challenging. In Key West permits are valid for 24 months as stated in their written procedure titled
"Instructions: Closing Permits". The document also outlines the process for the closure of permits
including fees to be paid and which permits may be administratively closed. Their extension process is
Page 12 of 13
strictly administrative for determining if the expired permit project was completed and final inspections
were simply not scheduled, which is very often the case.
2-4. Any expired permits of interest are scheduled for inspection pursuant to FBC § 110.3.8 below:
[A] 110.3.8 Other inspections.
In addition to the inspections specified in Sections 110.3 through 110.3.7, the building official is
authorized to make or require other inspections of any construction work to ascertain compliance with
the provisions of this code and other laws that are enforced by the department of building safety.
Once an inspector reports that the work is completed and safe the permit is closed. However, if the
inspector reports that the work is incomplete and not approved, then the applicant is informed that the
property owner or licensed contractor must obtain a new permit to complete the work. An approved
inspection is needed to close out the new permit as well as the previous permit.
Key West responded that the administrative process eliminates additional Florida surtax charges since it
is not a construction permit and that the process has been well received by the residents of Key West and
their responsibility for the health, safety and welfare of the public is being served as well.
City of Marathon
The City is faced with the same problem of closing permits that as a matter of practice weren't required
to obtain a final (i.e. fences, slabs, land clearing) or historically didn't receive adequate follow-up to
require a final (minor plumbing, electric, A/C units). The current practice, at the direction of Council, is
to charge a minimal fee ($30) for reviewing and closing old permits. If the old permit is simple (no life
safety, structural, mechanical, plumbing issues), then there is a simple on -site inspection to confirm
aspects of the permit. If, on the other hand, the permit IS more complex, then a more detailed inspection
will be required either by the building official or inspector. If it is not possible to perform such an
inspection (permit components no longer accessible, visible), then the building official may require
further outside engineering review and sign off.
City of Key Colony Beach
No response.

RE: Expired Permit Renewal procedure
Requests to have permits closed have increased over the past 2 years. In an
effort to help avoid confusion on how to accomplish this please observe the
following:
Procedure for Renewing an Expired Permit (except ROGO/NROGO)
If a permit is expired the owner/contractor has two options:
ORIGINAL PERMIT COST WAS GREATER THAN $500.00 -
Pay a minimum fee of $500 or current prorated fees, whichever is
greater. With this scenario the original permit is renewed,
inspected and closed out. (Page 9, number 8 of the Fee Schedule.
Permit Renewal: a. Minimum Fee - $500.)
2. ORIGINAL PERMIT COSTS WAS LESS THAN $500.00 -
Apply for a new permit. pay current fees and get the inspections.
With this scenario, the original permit is "expired" and the new
permit reflects the old permit number.
In a case where the work was partially done under the original permit, no
inspections were performed and the work was concealed, a letter from an
engineer attesting the construction was performed according to the building code
is necessary to renew, or issue a new permit for inspections. (An example would
be a roof completed without inspections.)
