How private-provider permitting works.
A licensed engineering partner reviews your plans.
Under F.S. 553.791 an owner can use a licensed private provider for plan review and inspections instead of waiting in the municipal queue. We work with a licensed engineering firm that does exactly that.
Revisions identified within 48 hours.
If the plans need changes, you hear about it in two days, not after weeks in a stack.
Permits typically issue in 10–20 business days.
The building department still issues the permit — within the statutory timeframes the law sets for private-provider submittals.
On-demand virtual inspections.
Inspections happen by video when the work is ready, so the job doesn’t stop and wait for an inspector’s calendar.

F.S. 553.791
Straight answers.
Does Reliant issue permits?
No. We don’t issue permits ourselves — we make sure they’re issued within statutory timeframes under Florida Statute 553.791.
What is F.S. 553.791?
It’s the Florida statute that lets a property owner use a licensed private provider — an engineer or architect — for plan review and building inspections, and that sets the timeframes the local building department has to act within.
Is it statewide?
Yes. The statute applies across Florida, so we offer permitting consultations statewide, not only on the Pinellas beaches.
What does it cost?
It depends on the project. Private-provider fees show up as their own line in your itemized estimate, so you can weigh them against months of waiting. Ask on your free consultation.
Do I still get inspections?
Yes — every required inspection still happens. They’re performed by the licensed private provider, virtually and on demand, instead of waiting for a municipal inspector to visit.
Free 30-minute consultation. No need to stress.
