Contractors
It isn't a simple process anymore! Walk-thrus are becoming more and more a thing of the past. The task of procuring building permits for even the smallest of projects has become a tedious, time consuming and costly aspect of every contractor's job. Often times the owner of a contracting company, one of it's principals or a highly paid project manager may find themselves spending hours waiting in lines and filling out forms at the local Miami-Dade County, Broward County or Palm Beach County building departments. This process drains the resources of the contracting firm and its personnel, which could be better utilized in sales, project management and construction.
More and more contractors are now outsourcing to permit processors, such as Permit Source to free-up valuable in house personnel and resources, and reduce costs. We can analyze permit fees for your job costs budget on larger projects, or handle your day to day trade permits.

Owners
The property owner, from the single family home owner, all the way up to the the regional real estate management companies can find themselves in a situation of having to obtain building permits for various projects. The single family home owner may have no clue as to what they need to do. The real estate company may know what to do but thinks that the contractor is charging an above average price for acquiring the permit. In either case, Permit Source can be the solution.
Property owners are ultimately liable for permit issues and can have their properties liened by third parties for unresolved monetary issues involving permits. In addition, the property owner can be fined or have their property liened by their local municipality for expired or open permits.
