What your address says on paper.

Harbor Islands is young enough that its first owners are only now selling, refinancing or borrowing against houses they helped build. That is usually when somebody finally reads the file. A title search on Windjammer Way turns up an impact glass permit from years back that never got its final inspection. A lift went in off a dock in Grand Harbor Estates during a quiet season. A generator, a pool heater, a bar sink: none of it difficult behind a guard gate, all of it permanent on paper. The rest are owners with nothing wrong yet, who want the next project on the record from day one.

The permit itself is a City of Hollywood matter. The Building Division inside the Development Services Department reviews the drawings, issues the permit and sends the inspector, on the countywide Broward application every city here files. Behind the city sits another layer: the Broward County Board of Rules and Appeals administers the Florida Building Code across the county, publishes its amendments, certifies the officials and inspectors who will handle your job, hears appeals and issues formal interpretations when a code section is disputed. Broward is entirely High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, so glass, doors and roofing carry HVHZ product approvals into the submittal.

PGX Builders Group is the contractor of record on the application, Lic. CGC1539072, so the license and the liability sit with us rather than with a homeowner signing as owner-builder. Where a submittal needs an architect, an engineer or a surveyor, we retain and coordinate them; we do not pretend to be them. Plan review comments get answered completely the first time, and a supervisor meets every inspector at the door. Twenty-plus years in South Florida, more than 150 remodels and additions, all of them permitted and inspected. In a community this quiet, a clean file is part of the discretion.
