PRIVATE PROVIDER LAW EXPLAINED

On October 1, 2002 Florida Statute 553.791 became law. This law provides, two main items:

First, this law allows a building owner (new or existing building) the option of using a Private Provider to provide all mandatory building code inspections and/or plan review in lieu of the local building department.

Second, this law now allows a Private Provider (eAtlantic) to provide this service to you. The statute is accessible below.

Using a Private Provider is a simple process. The main steps involved are:

• Notice to Building Official is turned in at the time of permit application or before any inspection has been requested on the project.
• Once permits have been issued and/or plans are approved, the construction process can begin.
• eAtlantic will conduct all required Building Inspections per code as required by the state of Florida and local municipalities.
• Upon completion and acceptance of all inspections, we will make notification of "C.O." (Certificate of Final Completion)
• Once granted by us, the local Building Official must issue C.O. within 2 business days – per law.
