How It Works
- Free consultation: We review your project scope, confirm which Broward County agency approvals apply, and identify whether DRC Final Site Plan approval is required before zoning staff will approve your building permit application.
- Agency coordination: We obtain Broward County EPD approval before Building Department submittal, and for elevator projects submit plans-only to Broward County Elevator allowing one week review time.
- Document collection: We prepare the revised January 8, 2026 Broward County Uniform Application in black ink, three sets of signed and sealed energy calculations, structural calculations, special inspection forms, surveys for exterior projects, and a recorded NOC with two certified copies for projects over $2,500.
- ProjectDox submission: We submit your complete Margate building permit application through the ProjectDox portal following the Florida Building Code 8th Edition (2023) requirements.
- Follow-up: We monitor the 60-day correction response window, respond to all correction comments before the deadline, and handle resubmittals until approval.
- Delivery: Once your permit is issued, we schedule all inspections before the 2:00 PM daily cutoff, call inspection cancellations between 7:30 AM and 8:00 AM at 954-970-3004, and keep your project on track to Certificate of Occupancy.
Why Choose Us
Margate's 60-day correction deadline, inspection scheduling cutoff at 2:00 PM, and updated January 2026 application form requirement stop most applicants before they realize their project is already stalled.
We know:
- That as of March 9, 2026, only the revised Broward County Uniform Application dated January 8, 2026 is accepted, and the previous version is rejected at intake before any reviewer sees your plans
- That applications and permits go null and void 60 calendar days after a correction notice is issued if no action is taken, and the entire process must restart from scratch with no credit for previous review cycles
- That inspection requests called in after 2:00 PM are scheduled for the second business day, not the next day, and inspections called in after 2:00 PM on Thursday through 2:00 PM on Monday are not scheduled until the following Tuesday
- That Friday inspections must be called in before 2:00 PM and inspectors are available Monday through Thursday only from 7:00 AM to 5:00 PM
- That Broward County EPD approval must be obtained before any Building Department submittal begins, and we secure the EPD security code and application number as the first step in every applicable project
- That three sets of energy calculations signed and sealed by engineer are required in Margate, which is more than most neighboring cities require, and missing a set or submitting unsigned calculations results in plan review rejection
- That for DRC projects, applicants may apply for a building permit prior to DRC Final Site Plan approval, but zoning staff will not approve the building permit application until the DRC process is fully complete
- That approved plans, permit card, and any previous red tags must be posted at the job site before every inspection, and inspections where these are missing result in failed inspections and re-inspection fees
