The sections relevant to permitting are:\n\n- **Section 2 (s. 218.755)** — Prompt processing of change orders\n- **Section 7 (amending s. 553.79)** — Prohibits local governments from requiring contracts/cost docs for permits\n- **Section 8 (amending s. 553.791)** — Private provider reforms including 5-business-day single-trade deadline and automated plans review\n\n---\n\n## Section 2 — s. 218.755: Prompt processing of change orders\n\nFor any contract for construction services entered into on or after July 1, 2025, if a local governmental entity receives from its contractor a price quote for a change order requested or issued by the local governmental entity for construction services, and the price quote conforms to all statutory requirements and contractual requirements for the project, the local governmental entity must approve or deny the price quote and send written notice of that decision to the contractor within **35 days** after receipt of such quote.\n\nA denial notice must specify the alleged deficiencies in the price quote and the actions necessary to remedy those deficiencies.\n\nIf the local governmental entity fails to provide the contractor with a notice in compliance with this section, **the change order and price quote are deemed approved**, and the local governmental entity must pay the contractor the amount stated in the price quote upon the completion of the change order.\n\n**A contract between a local governmental entity and a contractor may not alter the local governmental entity's duties under this section.**\n\n---\n\n## Section 7 — Amending s. 553.79(1)(f): Permit application document prohibitions\n\nA local government **may not require** a contract between a builder and an owner, any copies of such contract, or any associated document, including, but not limited to:\n- Letters of intent\n- Material costs lists\n- Labor costs\n- Overhead or profit statements\n\n...for the issuance of a building permit or as a requirement for the submission of a building permit application.\n\n---\n\n## Section 8 — Amending s. 553.791: Private provider reforms\n\n### Key changes to definitions:\n\n**553.791(1)(l) — \"Permit application\" revised:**\nIn the case of a single-trade plans review where a private provider uses an automated or software-based plans review system pursuant to subsection (6), the permit application includes the information reviewed by the automated or software-based plans review system to determine compliance with one or more applicable codes (not just traditional plans reviewed by the private provider).\n\n**553.791(1)(q) — \"Single-trade inspection\" or \"single-trade plans review\" expanded:**\nNow explicitly includes: door or window replacements; fences and block walls more than 6 feet high from the top of the wall to the bottom of the footing; stucco or plastering; reroofing with no structural alteration; solar energy and energy storage installations or alterations; HVAC replacements; ductwork or fan replacements; alteration or installation of wiring, lighting, and service panels; water heater changeouts; sink replacements; and repiping.\n\n### Key changes to inspection provisions:\n\n**553.791(5) — Election to use private provider for inspections:**\nAfter construction has commenced and if either the local building official is unable to provide inspection services in a timely manner **or the work subject to inspection is related to a single-trade inspection for a single-family or two-family dwelling**, the fee owner or the fee owner's contractor may elect to use a private provider to provide inspection services. (Previously required the local building official to be unable to provide timely service.)\n\n### Key changes to plans review:\n\n**553.791(6) — Automated plans review authorized:**\nFor single-trade plans reviews, a private provider **may use an automated or software-based plans review system** designed to determine compliance with one or more applicable codes, including, but not limited to, the National Electrical Code and the Florida Building Code.\n\n### Key changes to review timelines (CRITICAL):\n\n**553.791(7)(a) — NEW 5-business-day deadline for single-trade:**\nNo more than **20 business days**, or if the permit application is related to a **single-trade plans review for a single-family or two-family dwelling, no more than 5 business days**, after receipt of a permit application and the affidavit from the private provider, the local building official shall issue the requested permit or provide written notice of deficiencies. (Previously was 20 business days for all private provider applications.)\n\nIf the local building official does not provide written notice within the prescribed time period, **the permit application must be deemed approved as a matter of law**.\n\n**553.791(7)(b)-(d) — Tolling and resubmission language updated:**\nThe references to \"20-day period\" were replaced with \"prescribed time period\" throughout, so the tolling and resubmission rules now properly apply to both the 20-business-day and 5-business-day timelines.\n\n- **(b)** If deficiencies are noticed within the prescribed time, the time period is **tolled** pending resolution.\n- **(c)** On resubmission, the local building official gets the remainder of the tolled time period **plus 5 business days**. Subsequent review is **limited to the deficiencies cited** in the written notice.\n- **(d)** For all revisions after the first revision, the local building official has an **additional 5 business days** from the date of resubmittal.\n\n### Key changes to inspections:\n\n**553.791(8) — Virtual inspections:**\nSuch inspection, including a single-trade inspection, **may be performed in person or virtually**.

For single-trade plans reviews, a private provider may use an automated or software-based plans review system designed to determine compliance with one or more applicable codes, including, but not limited to, the National Electrical Code and the Florida Building Code. Upon determining that the plans reviewed comply with the applicable codes, the private provider shall prepare an affidavit or affidavits certifying, under oath, that the following is true and correct to the best of the private provider's knowledge and belief:\n\n**(a)** The plans were reviewed by the affiant, who is duly authorized to perform plans review pursuant to this section and holds the appropriate license or certificate.\n\n**(b)** The plans comply with the applicable codes.\n\nSuch affidavit may bear a written or electronic signature and may be submitted electronically to the local building official.\n\n---\n\n### (7) — REVIEW TIMELINES (CRITICAL)\n\n**(7)(a)** No more than **20 business days**, or if the permit application is related to a single-trade plans review for a single-family or two-family dwelling, no more than **5 business days**, after receipt of a permit application and the affidavit from the private provider required pursuant to subsection (6), the local building official shall issue the requested permit or provide a written notice to the permit applicant identifying the specific plan features that do not comply with the applicable codes, as well as the specific code chapters and sections. If the local building official does not provide a written notice of the plan deficiencies within the prescribed time period, **the permit application must be deemed approved as a matter of law**, and the permit must be issued by the local building official on the next business day.\n\n**(b)** If the local building official provides a written notice of plan deficiencies to the permit applicant within the prescribed time period, the time period is **tolled** pending resolution of the matter. To resolve the plan deficiencies, the permit applicant may elect to dispute the deficiencies pursuant to subsection (15) or to submit revisions to correct the deficiencies.\n\n**(c)** If the permit applicant submits revisions, the local building official has the remainder of the tolled time period **plus 5 business days** after the date of resubmittal to issue the requested permit or to provide a second written notice to the permit applicant stating which of the previously identified plan features remain in noncompliance with the applicable codes, with specific reference to the relevant code chapters and sections. **Any subsequent review by the local building official is limited to the deficiencies cited in the written notice.** If the local building official does not provide the second written notice within the prescribed time period, **the permit must be deemed approved as a matter of law**, and the local building official must issue the permit on the next business day.\n\n**(d)** If the local building official provides a second written notice of plan deficiencies to the permit applicant within the prescribed time period, the permit applicant may elect to dispute the deficiencies pursuant to subsection (15) or to submit additional revisions to correct the deficiencies.

The contractor's contractual or legal obligations are not relieved by any action of the private provider.\n\n---\n\n**(9)** A private provider performing required inspections under this section shall provide notice to the local building official of the approximate date and time of any such inspection. The local building official may not prohibit the private provider from performing any inspection outside the local building official's normal operating hours, including after hours, weekends, or holidays. The local building official may visit the building site as often as necessary to verify that the private provider is performing all required inspections. Reinspection or reaudit fees shall not be charged by the local jurisdiction as a result of the local jurisdiction's audit inspection occurring before the performance of the private provider's inspection or for any other administrative matter not involving the detection of a violation of the building code or a permit requirement.\n\n---\n\n**(10)** If the private provider is a person licensed as an engineer under chapter 471 or an architect under chapter 481 and affixes his or her professional seal to the affidavit required under subsection (6), the local building official must issue the requested permit or provide a written notice to the permit applicant identifying the specific plan features that do not comply with the applicable codes, as well as the specific code chapters and sections, within **10 business days** after receipt of the permit application and affidavit.
