How It Works
- Free consultation: We review your project scope, identify which CAP Government permit types apply, and check whether any City Code or Broward County Chapter 27 violations exist on the property that must be resolved before a new application can be submitted.
- Document collection: We gather your permit application with owner signature in black ink, DFB HOA Affidavit for residential projects, signed and sealed plans, asbestos form where required, Broward County EPD security code and application number, and a recorded Notice of Commencement for projects valued over $2,500.
- Agency coordination: We obtain Broward County EPD approval before submitting to the Building Department. For elevator projects, we submit plans-only to Broward County Elevator separately and allow one week for review. We coordinate Hotel and Restaurants, DOH, and AHCA approvals where applicable.
- Submission: We file your complete Deerfield Beach building permit application through the CAP Government portal, with online fee payment where applicable, and in-person payment at the City cashier for fees over $10,000.
- Follow-up: We track every review cycle through the CAP Government system, respond to plan review comments via email notification, and handle resubmittals until approval.
- Delivery: Once your permit is issued, we ensure the permit card is displayed on the front of the property and original permit documents are available on site, then coordinate inspection scheduling through the CAP Government portal.
Why Choose Us
Deerfield Beach switched to CAP Government on December 15, 2025. Projects submitted through the old system or missing the mandatory owner signature or HOA Affidavit are rejected before review begins.
We know:
- That all permit applications require the property owner's signature regardless of who submits the application, and a missing owner signature results in rejection at intake before any review begins
- That the DFB HOA Affidavit is required for every residential permit in Deerfield Beach, and missing this single form delays all residential applications regardless of project type or value
- That outstanding City Code violations or Broward County Chapter 27 violations on a property block all new permit applications, and we check violation status at the start of every project before preparing any documents
- That Broward County EPD approval must be secured before the Building Department will process any commercial submittal, and the EPD security code and application number must be included in the submittal package
- That Broward County Elevator approval requires a plans-only submittal with approximately one week of review time before the Building Department can proceed, and this must be coordinated in parallel with your EPD submittal to avoid a sequential delay
- That condo owners cannot self-permit any work in their units under Florida Statute 489.127(1)(f), and hiring an unlicensed contractor or attempting owner-builder permitting in a condo is a felony
- That online permit fee payments over $10,000 are not accepted and must be paid in person at the City cashier window at City Hall, and we coordinate this payment step to avoid permit issuance delays
- That the permit card must be displayed on the front of the unit visible from the outside from the start of work through final inspection, and original permit documents must be on site at every inspection
We have helped hundreds of South Florida projects move forward and we are ready to help yours.
