How It Works
- Free consultation: We review your project scope, confirm which Broward County agency approvals apply, identify whether Planning and Zoning review is required before Engineering review begins, and determine whether flood certification is required for your property.
- Agency coordination: We obtain Broward County EPD approval before town submittal. For elevator projects, we submit plans-only to Broward County Elevator allowing one week review time. Both are submitted through the ePermits system alongside your town application.
- Document collection: We prepare two signed and sealed plan sets, energy and structural calculations, Owner Agent Letter, flood certifications where required, original DRC stamped plans for applicable projects, and recorded NOC with two certified copies for projects over $2,500.
- ePermits and CAP Government submission: We submit your complete Southwest Ranches building permit application through the CAP Government portal and ePermits system, with a check prepared for in-person payment if a drop-off submittal is required.
- Follow-up: We track every review cycle, prepare revision packages with a permit application, architect narrative, and clouds and deltas on all revised sheets, and handle resubmittals until approval.
- Delivery: Once your permit is issued, we submit all inspection requests by email to swrinspections@southwestranches.org and keep your project on track to Certificate of Occupancy.
Why Choose Us
Southwest Ranches requires proof of license and insurance on every single submittal without exception, and revision packages require a new permit application — not just correction documents. These two requirements catch most applicants off guard on their first resubmittal.
We know:
- That proof of license and insurance must be attached on every permit and trade application submittal without exception, and revisions and corrections are the only submittals where this is not required
- That revision submittals require a permit application along with an architect narrative and clouds and deltas on all revised sheets, and the owner is not required to sign the revision permit application — only the contractor needs to sign
- That void sheets must not be returned unless a stamp is on the back, and submitting an unmarked void sheet with a revision package results in rejection
- That check payment is required at the time of drop-off for in-person submittals, and applicants who arrive without a check cannot complete their submittal
- That the ePermits system allows both Southwest Ranches town permits and Broward County agency approvals to be processed together, eliminating travel to Government Center West in Plantation
- That Planning and Zoning review must be completed and approved before Engineering Department review commences for development permits, and submitting to Engineering before Zoning approval results in rejection
- That flood certifications are required per Florida Building Code for applicable properties, and Southwest Ranches has a significant number of properties in flood-prone areas due to its rural, low-density character near the Everglades
- That all inspections must be requested by email to swrinspections@southwestranches.org with your permit number, address, inspection type, and contractor information, and phone inspection requests are not the primary channel
We have helped hundreds of South Florida projects move forward and we are ready to help yours.
