Services > Permit Management Services > Florida Building Permit Extension

So, what exactly is a Florida Building Permit Extension? It’s a handy option for builders, contractors, and property possessors that gives you a little redundant time to wrap up your approved construction design. Generally, a Florida structure permit is good for six months after it’s issued unless you’ve had examinations approved or construction has demurred off. By securing a structure permit extension, you can dodge expensive detainments, avoid the hassle of reapplying for permits, and keep your construction design from coming to a deadlock.

Who Needs a Florida Building Permit Extension?

Any type of construction work that involves a building permit can require an extension. In unfortunate circumstances like labor shortage, weather changes, or any material delays, requesting a Florida Building Permit Extension can eliminate obstacles like project termination.

Advantages of Florida Building Permit Extension:

  • Prevents permit expiration and reapplication fees
  • Maintains your project under local laws
  • Avoids construction stops because of administrative problems
  • Conserves time and money in the long term
