NOTICE TO BUILDING OFFICIAL
OF USE OF PRIVATE PROVIDER
Project Name / Address:
Permit/Process number:
Project address: Parcel tax ID:
Services to be provided (select one): Inspections only Plans Review and Inspections
I, , the fee owner of the property referenced above, hereby affirm that I
have entered into a contract with the Private Provider firm identified below to conduct the services indicated above.
Private Provider Firm:
Private Provider (Qualifier for the Firm):
Florida License or Registration number:
Address:
Telephone: Fax: Email:
I understand if I, the fee owner, or the fee owner’s contractor elects to use a private provider to provide plans review, the local
building official, in his or her discretion and pursuant to duly adopted policies of the local enforcement agency, may require the fee
owner or the fee owner’s contractor to use a private provider to also provide required building inspections, F.S. 553.791(2).
I have elected to use one or more private providers to provide building code plans review and/or inspection services on the building or
structure that is the subject of the enclosed permit application, as authorized by s. 553.791, Florida Statutes. I understand that the
local building official may not review the plans submitted or perform the required building inspections to determine compliance with
the applicable codes, except to the extent specified in said law.
Instead, plans review and/or required building inspections will be performed by licensed or certified personnel identified in the
application. The law requires minimum insurance requirements for such personnel, but I understand that I may require more
insurance to protect my interests. By executing this form, I acknowledge that I have made inquiry regarding the competence of the
licensed or certified personnel and the level of their insurance and am satisfied that my interests are adequately protected. I agree to
indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the local government, the local building official, and their building code enforcement personnel
from any and all claims arising from my use of these licensed or certified personnel to perform building code inspection services with
respect to the building or structure that is the subject of the enclosed permit application, F.S. 553.791(4)(c).
Note: Building plans review and/or inspection services provided by the private provider is limited to building code compliance and
does not include review for fire code, land use, environmental, FEMA regulations or other applicable codes. I understand that the local
building code enforcement agency may audit the performance of building code plan review and inspection services performed by
private providers operating within the local jurisdiction, F.S. 553.791(18).
If I, the fee owner, or the fee owner’s contractor makes any changes to the listed private providers or the services to be provided by
those private providers, I, the fee owner, or the fee owner’s contractor shall, within 1 business day after any change, update the
notice to reflect such changes. A change of a duly authorized representative named in the permit application does not require a
revision of the permit, and the building code enforcement agency shall not charge a fee for making the change. In addition, I, the fee
owner, or the fee owner’s contractor shall post at the project site, prior to the commencement of construction and updated within 1
business day after any change, on a form to be adopted by the AHJ, the name, firm, address, telephone number, and facsimile
number of each private provider who is performing or will perform building code inspection services, F.S. 553.791(4)(c).

Section 553.791(16) of the Florida Statutes provides for requiring minimum insurance coverage for professional liability
covering all services performed as a private provider. The section states: “A private provider may perform building code
inspection services on a building project under this section only if the private provider maintains insurance for professional
liability covering all services performed as a private provider. Such insurance shall have minimum policy limits of $1 million
per occurrence and $2 million in the aggregate for any project with a construction cost of $5 million or less and $2 million per
occurrence and $4 million in the aggregate for any project with a construction cost of over $5 million. Nothing in this section
limits the ability of a fee owner to require additional insurance or higher policy limits. For these purposes, the term
“construction cost” means the total cost of building construction as stated in the building permit application. If the private
provider chooses to secure claims-made coverage to fulfill this requirement, the private provider must also maintain
coverage for a minimum of 5 years subsequent to the performance of building code inspection services.

1. Private Providers performing inspections must schedule all inspections PRIOR to performing them, using
either the automated phone line or online portal, as noted in the permit package for City Inspections.
2. Results are to be emailed or faxed to the Broward County Building Code Services Division, within two
business days and may be accompanied by photographic evidence of the inspection performed. Exclusion
of the images may trigger an audit of the project.
3. Staff will monitor these emails for Private Provider inspection results and process them accordingly.
Inspection results emailed where inspections were not requested first will not be accepted and may trigger an
audit of the project.
