FAQ
Private Provider Inspections — Common Questions
Where does FCC provide private provider inspections in Florida?
FCC is registered in 50 Florida counties with 176+ building department registrations, covering approximately 75% of the state's permitting activity. Coverage spans Tampa Bay (Hillsborough, Pinellas, Pasco, Hernando, Manatee, Sarasota), Southwest Florida (Lee, Charlotte, Collier, Hendry), Southeast Florida (Broward, Palm Beach, Miami-Dade, Martin, St. Lucie), Central Florida (Orange, Osceola, Seminole, Volusia, Lake, Polk), and Northeast Florida and the Panhandle. Virtual inspections eliminate geographic limitations within our coverage area.
Can I get same-day private provider inspections near me in Florida?
Yes. FCC performs inspections virtually, which means a licensed inspector is available same-day regardless of where your project is located within our 50-county coverage area. Live virtual inspections connect you with a licensed inspector via video call in minutes. Offline inspections — GPS-tagged photos and video — return results in 1–2 hours. No scheduling windows, no waiting for an inspector to drive to your site.
Do I still use the building department if I use FCC for inspections?
Yes. You still submit the permit application, NTBO, permit fees, and any jurisdiction-required paperwork through the local building department. FCC handles the private-provider plan review and eligible inspection scope under FL 553.791, transmits FCC-scoped inspection results, and files the Certificate of Compliance after required FCC inspections are complete.
What types of building inspections does FCC perform?
FCC performs eligible BMEP and Florida Building Code inspections, including common structural, roofing, HVAC, electrical, plumbing, pool, solar, and final inspection milestones when they fall inside the private-provider scope. Zoning, fire, public works, utilities, right-of-way, drainage, and similar jurisdiction-retained inspections stay with the building department or AHJ.
