Inherited work, finally on the record.

Permit trouble in Davie is usually inherited, and it is usually big. A barn out on a Griffin Road acreage parcel grew an apartment for a working student. A lanai behind a Forest Ridge house was glassed in and quietly became a family room. A generator, a well pump house and a second panel arrived across three decades and two owners. The property shows beautifully. Then a buyer's title search or a lender's appraiser pulls the permit history on the address, and a project nobody planned starts on a deadline nobody chose.

Davie issues its own permits. The Town of Davie Building Division on Southwest 36th Street takes the Broward County Uniform Building Permit Application, and everything uploads through the town's OAS portal rather than crossing a counter. Status and inspection history stay attached to the folio, which is exactly where a title company looks. Davie also zones for horses and agriculture, so an acreage parcel raises setback, barn and accessory-structure questions a subdivision lot never sees. Broward sits above all of it through the Board of Rules and Appeals, and the whole county is High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, so glass, doors and roofing carry approved products.

Two decades of South Florida work and 150-plus remodels and additions, all of them permitted and inspected, teach you to price the record before you price the job. We list every permit the folio has ever carried, mark what was signed off and what stalled, and hand you that in writing. Where a barn, a guest suite or a well house has to be legalized, we retain the surveyor or engineer whose seal the town will actually accept. Septic capacity and flood elevation get checked early on an acre, because they decide what can be fixed on paper and what needs a machine. Lic. CGC1539072.
