1. What Over-the-Counter Permits Are

Over-the-counter (OTC) or walk-through permits are issued the same day, without the multi-department plan-review cycle that larger projects go through. They exist for simpler, well-defined scopes of work that the city can review on the spot.

Knowing whether your project qualifies — and arriving with a complete, correct submission — is what makes same-day issuance possible. One call to (305) 680-3283 tells you if your project is eligible.

2. Which Projects Qualify

OTC eligibility varies by city, but common candidates include water heater and air-conditioning changeouts, certain electrical and plumbing repairs, re-roofs in some jurisdictions, and other limited-scope work. Each city defines its own OTC list and limits.

We know each jurisdiction's OTC categories and prepare the submission to meet them, often coordinated with the trade permits in our trade-permits guide.

3. How We Speed the Process

Beyond OTC, we accelerate permitting through complete first-time submissions that avoid rejections, e-permitting where cities offer it, and private provider plan review and inspections that bypass the city queue on eligible projects.

Private provider service, explained in our private provider guide, can dramatically compress timelines on projects that do not qualify for OTC. We choose the fastest legitimate path for your scope.

4. When a Project Needs Full Review Instead

Larger or more complex projects — new construction, additions, structural work, change of use — require full multi-department plan review and cannot be issued over the counter. Expecting same-day issuance on these leads to frustration.

We set realistic expectations and then run full review as efficiently as possible, managing corrections and county approvals so the permit issues without avoidable delay. You always know where your project stands.

Speed in permitting comes from knowing the rules and submitting correctly the first time. With our team handling it, your project takes the fastest path the city allows.
