time extension for a period of not more than ninety (90) days may be authorized by the
building official provided that the extension is requested in writing along with a non-
refundable fee.
(b) Notification of Ready Permit: The building department shall notify the permit
applicant for principal structures that the permit is ready to be issued (the "ready
permit"). In the case of applications within the permit allocation system, as governed by
chapter 9.5 of this code, notification shall be by certified mail to the name and address
given by the applicant on the application. For all other permit applications, notice may
be verbal or written as appropriate.
(c) Expiration of Ready Permits: In the case of permit applications within the
permit allocation system, ready permits which are not picked up within sixty (60) days of
the notification by certified mail shall automatically expire and become null and void.
Except for demolition permits, all other permits which are ready but have not been picked
up shall automatically expire in accordance with the provisions of paragraph (a) above.

with appropriate non-refundable fees must be submitted to the building department for
approval.

a permit prevent the building official from thereafter requiring a correction of errors in
plans, construction, or violations of this code.

unless the work authorized by such permit is commenced within six (6) months after its
issuance, or if the work authorized by such permit is suspended or abandoned for a period
of six (6) 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 which is highlighted in red print on the
building permit display card within one hundred eighty (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

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

suspension or abandonment, which 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 one hundred eighty (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 non-refundable fee.
(f) Demolition Permits(Special Case): Any permits for the demolition of a
structure shall expire sixty (60) days from the date of issuance. No extensions shall be

Sec. 6-28. Building permit valuations.
If in the opinion of the building official, the valuation of building, alteration,
structure, electrical, gas, mechanical or plumbing systems appears to be underestimated
on a building permit application, the permit application shall be denied, unless the
applicant can show detailed estimates to meet the approval of the building official. Permit
valuations shall include total cost, such as electrical, gas, mechanical, plumbing
equipment and other systems, including materials and labor. The permit valuation may be

construction work already completed, whichever is greater.
(2) Before any permit may be issued under this section, the person, firm or
corporation seeking the permit shall, at his own expense, provide the building
department with the following:
a. Drawings sealed by an engineer license to practice in the State of Florida
which certifies that all work already done is in compliance with the Florida
Building Code; and
b. A certification from an engineer licensed in the State of Florida that all
steel work is in compliance with the Florida Building Code and relevant
State law and that such compliance has been verified through generally
accepted engineering practice.
Compliance with the engineer certification requirements of this paragraph
shall neither relieve the person, firm or corporation of fully complying with all
other relevant county regulations, county ordinances or state statutes, nor from
any penalties prescribed herein.
(b) Demolition: In lieu of obtaining a permit or approval from the building
official above, the person, firm or corporation may remove all unpermitted work and

commercial work (regardless of value) and for residential work when the fair market

Page 21 of27
(c) Excess Land Clearance; After-the-Fact Permit: If land has been cleared in
excess of what may be permitted, no building permit shall be issued for after-the-fact

and section 9.5-1 19(b)(1)-(4) of this code have been met.
(d) Work is Unpermittable: In the event the construction work is unpermittable
under this Florida Building Code and chapter 9.5 of this code, the site shall be restored to
its original condition. If demolition is required, a demolition permit shall be obtained for
all commercial work (regardless of value) and for residential work if the fair market value

was involved, the site shall be restored pursuant to section 9.5-1 19(a)(1)-(4) of this code.
(e) Appeals: An appeal from any administrative decision made by the building
official in enforcing this section shall be pursuant to chapter 9.5 of this code.

emergency work when delay would clearly have place life or property in imminent
danger. But in all such cases the required permit must be obtained within three (3)
business days and any unreasonable delay in obtaining those permit(s) shall result in the
charge of an after-the-fact permit fee as per paragraph (a) above. The payment of this
fee shall not preclude or be deemed a substitute for prosecution for commencing work
without first obtaining a permit. The building official may grant extensions of time or
waive fees when justifiable cause has been demonstrated in writing.
Sec. 6-30. Tests for product compliance.
For products not covered under the statewide product evaluation and approval
system, the building official may require tests or test reports as proof of compliance.

proposed construction shall be obtained before work may proceed, which may require the
payment of after-the-fact fees rather than regular permit fees. The building official may
require an on-site inspection, plans, drawings, and other documentation. If the permit was
issued under the permit allocation system in chapter 9.5 of this code, the applicant shall
not be issued a permit until awarded an allocation.
