Florida Building Inspector Statutes

The purpose of a permit is to protect you, your family, and your neighbors from the effects of work that violates building and zoning codes. These violations could cause hazards to life or property and compromise the quality of life we expect and enjoy. So I have my permit, what about inspections? It is the contractor’s responsibility to call for inspections. Inspections are required during certain phases of the project to insure continued code compliance.

According to Florida Legislative Committee on Intergovernmental Relations Draft Interim Project Report DBPR is responsible for protecting the well-being of Florida’s residents and visitors through the regulation of various professions. The Division of Professions within DBPR is responsible for regulating professional licensees through education and compliance. The Division of Regulation is responsible for enforcement of professions and related businesses licensed by DBPR under the Division of Professions to ensure that the laws, rules, and standards set by the Legislature are followed.

To find out if any complaints have been filed against a contractor or to file a complaint against a contractor, call or visit the Department of Business and Professional Regulation's web page at http://www.state.fl.us/dbpr/reg/forms/index.shtml **I did file a complaint against the contractor and I have seen NO record of that complaint on the DBPR website. I even called and asked if any complaints had been filed against him and I was told there are NONE.
