Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What happens if I get a ‘Work Without Permit’ citation in Tampa?
A: If you receive a citation, you must immediately halt all construction and apply for a retroactive permit. This requires submitting professional blueprints, scheduling special inspections, and paying double permit fees. We specialize in resolving these violations for you.

Q: How long does it take to get a building permit in Hillsborough County?
A: Residential remodeling permits typically take 3 to 6 weeks, while complex structural additions or new custom home builds can take 6 to 12 weeks to clear county plan reviews. We work to speed up this timeline through clean submittals.

Q: Can a homeowner pull their own building permit in Florida?
A: Yes, under the Florida Owner-Builder exemption, you can pull your own permit if you own and occupy the property. However, you assume all financial and safety liability for the subcontractors and the quality of work. Hiring a licensed general contractor protects you from these risks.
