FAQ

Private Provider Inspections — Common Questions

Where does FCC provide private provider inspections in Florida?

FCC is registered in 47 Florida counties with over 150 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 47-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 pull your permit through the local building department as usual. FCC handles plan reviews and building inspections as your private provider under FL 553.791. FCC provides the completed Notice to Building Official (NTBO) as part of your plan review package; you file it with the building department along with your permit application. FCC then handles all inspections and files results directly with the building department. FCC issues the Certificate of Compliance (COC) when all inspections pass.

What types of building inspections does FCC perform?

FCC performs all major inspection types required by the Florida Building Code: framing, roofing, HVAC, electrical, plumbing, pool, solar, and final inspections. If a building department inspector can inspect it, FCC can too — the scope is identical, only the timeline changes. FCC also performs plan reviews with 24-hour turnaround on residential projects.

How do I get started with private provider inspections through FCC?

Getting started takes about 10 minutes. Create your FCC account and provide your contractor license and the counties where you work. Submit plans for plan review if your project requires one — residential reviews come back in 24 hours. Request inspections through FCC when your work is ready. FCC files results with the building department after each inspection and issues the Certificate of Compliance when all inspections pass.

You've done the math on what a 3-week plan review lag costs. FCC turns that around in 1-2 days — and inspections get matched in minutes, not scheduled into a vague window where your crew waits all morning.
