Florida law provides a method for property owners to obtain plan review and inspection code compliance services through a process that is an alternative to direct municipal services. Referred to as the 'Private Provider' program, it is governed by Florida Statute Sec. 553.791 and is intended to offer an option to complement the traditional review and inspection services provided by municipalities, while ensuring the integrity of a project by licensed code professionals.

The law sets forth the essential processes and respective responsibilities of the property owner, the Private Provider, and the County. The Building Division recognizes the use of the Private Provider program. Information for the effective use of the program is included here.
