Permit Expediters in Wellington, FL
The Village of Wellington Building Department processes all permit applications and plan reviews electronically through ePlans ProjectDox, a fully paperless system integrated with the village's Citizen Self Service (CSS) portal. Every permit submittal must follow strict file naming rules — one drawing page per file, no multi-page batch drawings, and incorrect file names are automatically rejected before any reviewer sees your plans. Applications submitted after 3:00 PM are processed on the next business day. Any submittal not completed within 90 days of the original application date automatically voids the application and fees are not refundable. Wellington's Equestrian Preserve Area (EPA) has its own set of design standards, drainage requirements, and alternative approval processes that apply to rural equestrian lots. Flood hazard compliance is enforced under Wellington's Article III Flood Damage Prevention Ordinance, and the village participates in FEMA's Community Rating System offering a 25% discount on qualifying NFIP policies in Special Flood Hazard Areas.
At Concord Crest Real Estate, we manage your complete Wellington building permit application through the ProjectDox and CSS portals, coordinate all required outside agency reviews, and track every review cycle until your permit is issued.

Who We Help
We work with property owners and professionals throughout Wellington:

If you need a Wellington building permit, we help you get it done correctly the first time.
How It Works
- Free consultation: We review your project scope, identify whether your project is in the Equestrian Preserve Area or a Special Flood Hazard Area, and confirm which ProjectDox permit type, checklist, and outside agency approvals apply before preparing any documents.
- Pre-application coordination: For site plans and applications requiring public hearings, we schedule the mandatory pre-application meeting with the Development Review Manager and prepare the pre-application summary that must be included in the final submittal.
- Document collection: We gather all required documents following the permit and plat checklist, prepare single-page PDFs with correct file names, and organize plans into the required sub-folder structure before upload.
- ProjectDox submission: We submit your complete Wellington building permit application through the CSS portal before 3:00 PM to ensure same-day processing, upload all plans into ProjectDox with correct file naming, pay all application fees, and critically click the "UPLOAD COMPLETE" button under PROJECT TASKS to start the review process.
- Follow-up: We monitor every review cycle through ProjectDox and the CSS portal, respond to reviewer comments, and never change plan sizes when resubmitting corrections, as required by the village's strict resubmittal rules.
- Delivery: Once your permit is issued, we download approved files from the ProjectDox home page, coordinate inspection scheduling, and keep your project on track through every stage to Certificate of Occupancy.
Why Choose Us
Wellington's ProjectDox system has several technical requirements that stop applications before they reach a plan reviewer. File naming errors, missing the UPLOAD COMPLETE button, and plan size changes on resubmittal are the most common causes of delays.
We know:
- That incorrect file names are automatically rejected in ProjectDox before any reviewer sees the plans, and only one drawing page is permitted per file with no multi-page batch drawings allowed under any circumstances
- That after uploading plans and paying fees, applicants must click PROJECT TASKS and then select UPLOAD COMPLETE to actually start the review process, and clicking save and close instead leaves the application in a dormant state that is never reviewed
- That plan sizes must never be changed when resubmitting corrections — the village's rules explicitly prohibit altering plan dimensions on corrected submissions, and changed plan sizes trigger a full rejection of the correction package
- That applications not completed within 90 days of submittal are automatically voided and fees are not refundable, which means incomplete or stalled applications need active management to avoid losing the filing fee entirely
- That Equestrian Preserve Area lots under 0.25 acres with less than 20 percent lot fill are exempt from certain engineering permit requirements, but any alteration to drainage features triggers an engineering permit requirement regardless of lot size
- That Wellington participates in FEMA's Community Rating System and offers a 25% discount on qualifying NFIP policies in Special Flood Hazard Areas, and properties in these zones require Elevation Certificates, flood opening calculations, and substantial improvement analysis before permits are issued
- That projects in Special Flood Hazard Areas where renovation costs equal or exceed 50% of the structure's market value trigger the full set of floodplain requirements, which can significantly shift project scope, design, and budget
- That ACME Improvement District canal connections require a Public Works permit rather than a standard engineering permit, and submitting to the wrong department delays the project before review begins

FAQs About Permits in Wellington
Submit through the CSS portal at wellingtonfl.gov before 3:00 PM for same-day processing. All plans must be uploaded to ProjectDox as single-page PDFs with correct file names. After uploading and paying fees, you must click PROJECT TASKS and then UPLOAD COMPLETE to start the review. We manage the full process on your behalf.
The most common reasons are incorrect file names, multi-page batch drawings, or failing to click the UPLOAD COMPLETE button after uploading plans. ProjectDox automatically rejects files that do not follow naming rules, and applications where UPLOAD COMPLETE was not clicked remain in a dormant state and are never reviewed by staff.
Yes. Projects in Special Flood Hazard Areas require Elevation Certificates, flood opening calculations, and substantial improvement analysis. If renovation costs reach 50% of the structure's market value, the full set of floodplain requirements applies. Wellington participates in FEMA's Community Rating System and offers a 25% NFIP policy discount for qualifying SFHA properties. We coordinate all flood compliance documentation as part of your permit package.
Yes. Rural equestrian lots in the EPA have alternative design standards for roads, drainage, and subdivision improvements. Lots under 0.25 acres with less than 20 percent lot fill are exempt from certain engineering permit requirements, but any alteration to drainage features still triggers an engineering permit. We identify which EPA-specific rules apply to your property at the start of every engagement.
We know the ProjectDox file naming rules, UPLOAD COMPLETE submission step, plan size resubmittal restrictions, 90-day application void rule, EPA design standards, flood hazard compliance requirements, and ACME canal connection process. We submit your Wellington building permit completely and correctly the first time so your project does not lose time to avoidable rejections.
