If you’re managing a construction project in Clearwater, Florida, a licensed private provider can help you move faster, save on permit fees, and avoid the scheduling delays common at local building departments. Tew & Taylor has been serving Pinellas County and the surrounding area since 2008.
What Is a Private Provider?
Under Florida Statute §553.791, licensed private providers can perform building inspections and plan reviews in place of the local building department. Every Florida municipality is legally required to accept private provider results. Permit fees are also reduced by law when a private provider is used — a saving that often offsets a significant portion of the private provider’s cost.
