Unpermitted work or an open permit doesn’t have to blow up your sale. We get the as-built drawings done, sealed by a Florida-licensed engineer, and filed with the city.
The drawings are sealed by a Florida-licensed professional engineer, and a licensed contractor pulls the permit. Nothing gets drawn until you approve the quote.
Title, the buyer’s lender, and the inspector all want the permit closed. We file the after-the-fact so the city can close it after inspection — instead of the deal falling apart over it.
A legalized permit is what ends the notice. We tell you at intake whether the city can legalize it — and if they can’t, we say so instead of billing you.
The next buyer, the next appraisal, and your insurance all read the same permit history. It gets filed once and stays on the record.
These are the jobs we take.
You’re selling, and the title company, an agent, or the buyer’s inspector turned up an open or expired permit on the house.
Somebody built a patio, Florida room, garage conversion, or roof at some point and nobody ever pulled a permit for it.
The contractor who did the work is gone, wasn’t licensed, or wants to be paid again to reopen the permit.
Code enforcement sent a notice, or you’ve got a closing date and this is what’s holding it up.
Most jobs land in this range. We quote from photos and the address before you pay anything. 50% before drawings start, the other half when we file.
If we can’t file it — flood, setback, zoning, or anything the city can’t legalize — we tell you at intake, before any drawings start.
Include photos, what was built, and whether there’s a closing or a code enforcement deadline. If it’s obvious the work can’t be brought up to current code — flood, setback, zoning — we’ll tell you up front rather than take your money for drawings that’ll get rejected.
A drafter prepares the as-built drawings, then a Florida professional engineer reviews and seals them. The engineer’s name and seal go on the set, and the engineer is professionally responsible for what’s in it.
Cities won’t let an unlicensed third party pull this permit, so a licensed contractor we work with files it. We handle the portal and plan-review comments. If work needs repair to pass inspection, a contractor does that — not us. The city closes the permit after inspection.
Send the address and we’ll tell you whether it’s something we can file and roughly what it’ll cost. Nothing gets drawn until you approve the quote.
