Regulatory Permits

Every project needs its own set of approvals before it can go to construction. Knowing which agency asks what, and in what order, is most of the schedule.

What is included
  • Development orders
  • Water and sewer utility permits
  • Roadway and access permits
  • Stormwater and environmental resource permits
  • Construction permits and agency coordination

What we handle

Each project requires a unique set of regulatory permits before it can enter the construction phase. We assist clients in completing the necessary city or county permits, and we have extensive experience working with regulatory authorities to complete the applications appropriate to each project.

Typical permits include development orders, water and sewer utility permits, roadway permits, stormwater permits, and other environmental resource and construction permits.

Why sequencing matters

Agencies review in a rough order, and a submittal made before its prerequisite is approved usually comes back rather than moves forward. We plan the sequence at the start of the project so the review calendar, not the drawing set, is what sets the schedule.

Common questions.

Which agencies do you work with?

County and municipal development review, the water management district holding environmental resource permitting jurisdiction, the Florida Department of Environmental Protection for water and wastewater, and the roadway authority for access permits.
