Florida HB 803 · Effective July 1, 2026

Using a private provider reduces your permit fees by law.

Under Florida House Bill 803, jurisdictions are required to reduce permit fees when a private provider is used at least 25% when a private provider performs plan review or inspections, and at least 50% when a private provider performs both. Florida law requires this reduction, and Cleard verifies it's applied to every eligible permit.
