More About Permits
An open permit and an expired permit each have unique problems you need to overcome. Some are more challenging than others with expired permits causing the most headaches. Let’s discuss the differences between the two, starting with the open permit – the easiest problem to solve when closing permits.
Open Permits Explained And Resolved.
An open permit is an active permit that has not yet been signed off by the inspector. The permit was either issued or last inspected less than 180 days ago. Often the contractor simply made an oversight and failed to close the permit.
We will contact the contractor who was issued the permit and ensure the work is complete and the building can be inspected. Even if the company is no longer in business, closing permits like this often can still be done quickly.
Expired Closing Permits Can Be Very Challenging.
An expired permit is no longer active because it has been more than 180 days since it was issued. It could also mean that it has been more than 180 since the last inspection for the issued permit. No work applicable to the contract can be performed. Also, no inspection can be done under the permit.
There are several scenarios that can result in expired permits. However, it is always because of some form of negligence by the contractor working under that permit. In order for you to be able to close the deal, expired permits need to be addressed and fixed.
Our main goal is to ensure that closing permits like these cause you the least amount of frustration. Our expertise will come into play and are key in saving you time and money. We will expedite the process and get the work done.
The most common reasons for expired permits:
- Failing the inspection – The contractor did not adhere to South Florida building codes.
- Unfinished work – It could be the person or company that hired the contractor never paid them. Maybe the contractor went out of business. It could be that they ran over budget and couldn’t afford to complete the job. No matter the reason, the permit ran its course and is now expired.
- Missing the final inspection – The final walk-through was never done by the inspector. Maybe the work took longer than expected and it is now past 180 days. This is something we can remedy in a very short time.
