Building Permits in Davie | Zoning Guide by Building Club

The Town of Davie's Building Division administers building permits and inspections. Beginning January 12, 2026, Davie requires permit and other Building Department service requests to be initiated through its Online Application Submittal (OAS) process; electronic plans are then handled through ProjectDox where applicable.

Current code framework

Davie operates under Florida's statewide 8th Edition (2023) Florida Building Code, subject to applicable local administrative provisions and later state updates. Permit-required and exempt work must be checked against the current Florida code and Town process rather than a generic exemption list.

Inspections and fees

Davie provides eSuite/OAS tools for permit status and inspection requests. The Town states that inspection requests received during the business day are scheduled for the next workday; requests received during non-business hours are processed on the next business day. This is an inspection-scheduling rule, not a permit-review deadline.

Fees depend on permit type and scope; no generic plan-check percentage is stated. Florida contractor and design-professional requirements are governed by state law and project scope, so no universal seal requirement is inferred.
