What we do
Permit expediting services
Our permit technicians handle the research, paperwork, submittals, and follow-up so you can stay focused on the project. No job is too big or too small.
Permit Submittal & Expediting
We fill out the applications, review plans for completeness, submit to every relevant department, and send you a same-day submittal report.
Learn more →Plan Review Follow-up & Corrections
When a reviewer issues comments, we coordinate the corrections with your design team and follow up until the permit is approved.
Learn more →Closeout & Certificates of Occupancy
When the work is done, we help close out the permit and obtain the Certificate of Occupancy so the project is complete on the jurisdiction’s records.
Learn more →Open-Permit Searches for Sales
Before a property changes hands, we search the jurisdiction’s records for open or expired permits so buyers, sellers, and their agents know what’s on file.
Learn more →Notice of Commencement Recording
Besides applications and permits, we record the documents the permitting process calls for, including Notices of Commencement.
Learn more →Certificates of Use & Business Tax Receipts
For businesses opening or moving into a new space, we handle the Certificate of Use and business tax receipt applications that come with getting a location ready to open.
Learn more →Research & Due Diligence
We confirm which departments review your project, what clearances and documents are needed, and send your design team a detailed checklist.
Learn more →Expired Permit Renewals
If a permit has expired, we submit the renewal application with the required documents. If the jurisdiction requires a new application, we can handle that as well.

Why Permit Express
Local permit technicians who know the building departments
Permit Express LLC has been providing permitting services to the South Florida construction industry since 2004. We work closely with building departments so guidelines are met and your project keeps moving.
- Based in Pompano Beach, close to the jurisdictions we work in every day.
- We confirm who has jurisdiction before anything is submitted. In Broward, Palm Beach, and Miami-Dade, that often means a city building department plus county reviews.
- We work with architects, engineers, designers, owners, and contractors on residential and commercial projects.
- You stay informed with same-day submittal reports, weekly updates, and shared Google Sheets.
- Personalized attention on each project, from a small single-trade permit to a multi-department commercial build-out.
Where we work
Serving Broward, Palm Beach, and Miami-Dade
From our office in Pompano Beach, we handle permitting across South Florida’s cities and unincorporated areas.
Broward County
Broward is home base for Permit Express LLC. Most of the county is made up of incorporated cities, each with its own building department. We confirm who has jurisdiction before anything is submitted.
Learn more →Palm Beach County
From Boca Raton to Jupiter and west toward the Glades, the path depends on whether the property sits in a city or in unincorporated Palm Beach County. We confirm that path at the start, not after a rejection.
Learn more →Miami-Dade County
Miami-Dade is South Florida’s largest and most complex permitting market. City projects often still need county approvals. We map every approval before submittal.
