Private Provider Expertise Meets Permitting Automation
Stop Managing the Permit Process Like Six Separate Jobs.
A building-code review is only one part of a project. Contractors also manage applications, signatures, Notices of Commencement, agency comments, inspection documentation, and final permit records.
Permit Rockstar connects the administrative workflow with appropriate professional services so the next step is easier to identify, track, and complete.
Less Duplicate Paperwork
Reuse available project details across supported forms and keep required documentation associated with the job.
Professional Code Review
Coordinate qualifying building-code plan review with appropriately licensed private provider professionals.
Connected Inspections
Coordinate eligible inspections, review the necessary evidence, and keep the required result reporting tied to the permit.
More Than Plan Review
The Permitting Work Surrounding the Review Matters Too.
Choose an individual service or assemble a coordinated project package that includes the steps your job actually needs.
Not every project requires every service. The selected scope is defined before work begins.

Jacksonville-Specific Requirements
How Private Provider Services Work With Jacksonville's JaxEPICS Process.
Private provider services operate within Florida law and the city's published registration, submission, inspection, and closeout procedures.
That means faster professional review does not eliminate Jacksonville's other governmental reviews.
-
01
Define the Project and Scope
Identify the project address, permit category, applicable trades, required documents, and whether private provider plan review, inspections, or both are appropriate.
The fee owner elects the use of private provider services through the required written authorization process.
-
02
Complete the Private Provider Setup
Jacksonville requires private provider firm registration, licensing and insurance documentation, and the applicable JaxEPICS profiles.
Project filings may include the Notice to Building Official, owner authorization, and plan compliance affidavit when applicable.
-
03
Complete Plan Review and Prepare the Submission
The qualified private provider performs the applicable code review and provides the required professional documentation.
The permit application, plans, owner authorization, and supporting documents then follow the applicable JaxEPICS process.
Jacksonville's system also handles applicable zoning, development, fire, and other agency reviews.
-
04
Confirm Issuance Before Construction
The city's permitting authority determines issuance, applicable governmental conditions, and required fees.
In JaxEPICS, an application marked "Not Submitted" has not been formally submitted.
Jacksonville identifies "Active" as an issued permit on which authorized construction may begin.
-
05
Complete and Report the Inspections
The fee owner or contractor is responsible for scheduling required inspections through the city's process.
Properly authorized private provider firms may have scheduling access when assigned to the permit.
Required private provider inspection results must be entered in JaxEPICS.
-
06
Submit Compliance Records and Finalize the Permit
After the required inspections are completed, the appropriate private provider documentation and supporting records are submitted for city review.
Jacksonville verifies completion of inspection results, associated permits, applicable fees, and closeout documents.
After the city completes its verification, the permit may advance to "Finalized" and the applicable completion or occupancy document.
Important jurisdiction distinction: This workflow describes projects handled by the City of Jacksonville's Building Inspection Division. Jacksonville Beach, Atlantic Beach, Neptune Beach, and Baldwin maintain separate municipal building and zoning functions.
For those locations, confirm the correct authority and private provider procedures.

Questions Contractors Ask
Jacksonville Private Provider FAQs.
What is a private provider in Jacksonville, Florida?
Under Florida Statute 553.791, qualified private providers can perform specified building-code plan reviews and inspections instead of relying solely on the local building department for those professional services.
Jacksonville has its own registration, documentation, JaxEPICS reporting, and closeout procedures for private provider work.
How quickly can Permit Rockstar complete a private provider plan review?
Permit Rockstar publishes a plan-review turnaround of 5 business days or less for qualifying private provider review scopes, subject to the applicable agreement.
This does not mean Jacksonville will issue a permit in five days. Corrections, governmental agency reviews, and permit issuance remain separate.
Does Jacksonville still issue the building permit?
Yes. The City of Jacksonville retains its permitting authority.
The private provider handles the authorized professional plan review or inspections. Governmental approvals, associated requirements, and permit issuance remain with the city.
Does Jacksonville require private provider registration?
Yes. The city requires private provider registration, professional license and insurance documentation, and appropriate JaxEPICS profiles.
Separate account requirements may apply for professional plan-review submission and inspection reporting.
Can I use a private provider for a commercial project?
Yes, when the work and professional services qualify under Florida law and the applicable jurisdictional requirements.
Commercial projects may require additional zoning, development, fire, site, or other governmental reviews that are not displaced by private provider building-code services.
Permit Rockstar publishes a bundled commercial tenant buildout option beginning at $1,995 for qualifying scopes.
Does a private provider reduce government permit fees?
Eligible projects may qualify for statutory reductions in the relevant local building plan-review or inspection fee components under Florida Statute 553.791.
The actual amount depends on the project, services elected, applicable law, and the jurisdiction's fee calculation.
Do not assume that zoning, fire, impact, or all other governmental charges disappear.
Can private provider inspections be performed virtually?
Florida law permits virtual private provider inspections when applicable requirements are satisfied.
The qualified inspector determines the appropriate method and supporting evidence, which may include photographs, video, measurements, documents, or a live walkthrough.
A virtual inspection is not an automatic pass. Code compliance and required reporting still apply.
Who schedules and reports inspections in Jacksonville?
Jacksonville identifies the fee owner or the fee owner's contractor as responsible for scheduling required inspections in JaxEPICS.
Properly assigned private provider firms may also have scheduling access under the city's registration framework.
Required inspection results must be entered into the city's system.
Can Permit Rockstar handle submission and closeout?
Permit Rockstar offers submission coordination, permit administration, inspection reporting coordination, and closeout support within applicable service packages.
The exact responsibilities are defined in the project agreement.
The city must complete required verifications before finalizing the permit or issuing the applicable completion or occupancy document.
Do private provider services apply in Jacksonville Beach, Atlantic Beach, and Neptune Beach?
Florida's statutory private provider framework may apply to eligible projects in those municipalities, subject to their own administrative procedures.
Those cities maintain separate local permitting systems and requirements. Do not use Jacksonville's JaxEPICS instructions as a universal process for every Duval County address.
What should I bring to the permit assessment?
Start with the project address, work description, anticipated trades, permit status if available, and whether plans are ready.
We can use that information to discuss likely service needs and next steps.
If plans or sensitive project documents are required, the appropriate secure submission process can be discussed separately.
