The Bottleneck

After Hurricane Ian, Lee and Collier counties saw tens of thousands of emergency permits. Departments designed for hundreds of inspections per week faced thousands.

How Virtual Breaks It

Private providers operate independently. Virtual inspections scale because inspectors don't drive through debris. Capacity scales with submission volume.

Emergency Provision

FL 553.791 Section 10: NTBO waived. Inspection within 3 business days. Same-day inspection while the county shows a 4-6 week backlog.

Prepare Before Hurricane Season
