Virtual inspections and plan review in Palmetto

Palmetto contractors: your crew films the inspection on a phone and a licensed inspector results it within 15 minutes, or live on a call. Plans reviewed in 1 to 2 business days.

Palmetto is a city of about 13,000 residents in Manatee County. Smaller building departments can have limited inspection days, so one missed slot can hold a job for a week. Inspektr lets contractors working in Palmetto keep the job moving.

How inspections work in Palmetto

When the install is finished, your crew films the inspection on a phone using a guided checklist for the trade. A licensed inspector results it within 15 minutes of recording, or you can do it live on a phone call, and the crew moves on to the next job instead of waiting on site. If an item needs a correction, they fix it and film it again without rebooking.

No. The private provider program is Florida state law, not a local option. Section 553.791(23) of the Florida Statutes provides that a local government may not prohibit or discourage the use of a private provider, and that applies in Palmetto the same as everywhere else in Florida.

Do permit fees go down in Palmetto?

Using a private provider under Florida Statute 553.791 typically drops permit fees 25 to 85%, depending on the project and which services the private provider performs.

Permitting, plan review, and inspections from one firm

We prepare and file the permit, review the plans, and perform the inspections, on one project record under Florida Statute 553.791. One firm owns the job from application through certificate of occupancy, so there is no handoff between vendors for it to sit in and no one to chase but us.
