After-The-Fact Permitting Services
Helping You Legalize Unpermitted Work with Engineering, Design, and Permit Support, Serving Tampa & Central Florida.

About Our Services
Unpermitted work happens, whether it was done by a previous owner or started without realizing a permit was required, you’re not alone.
Half the battle is the administrative process, time, cost and DEADLINE required to conform with current building code, design criteria and permitting regulations ‘after-the-fact’ for a project that was already constructed.
As understood, typical milestone inspections are moot, valid contractors are rarely used, and pre-existing conditions are only captured if thorough photographs were taken.
Throw in the fact of having to create plans from scratch through site verification, data collection, and preliminary drawing sketches to cadd plans for design/engineering/analysis and ultimate certification.
We assist homeowners, real estate investors, developers, builders, across central Florida by administering due diligence, preparing engineering documentation, submitting permit applications, and providing administrative representation when dealing with local building departments.
Central Florida Civil Engineers provides complete After-The-Fact Permitting (ATF) support to bring your home, property or project into compliance and avoid further legal and financial risk.
Our goal is to resolve the issue, acquire the approved permit, close out the violation, and get the job done as efficiently and affordable as possible.
