Plantation is a city of mid-century ranch homes in its central neighborhoods, golf-course villas and condominiums in Jacaranda, larger lots in Plantation Acres, and a growing mixed-use core around Midtown and the Broward Boulevard corridor. Those homes have been remodeled for decades: garages turned into bedrooms, kitchens expanded, roofs and windows replaced, pools and barns added. Each project needed a permit, and each permit needed a final inspection that the City says is mandatory. When that last step is skipped, an open permit Plantation owners never knew about waits for the next sale or application. If open permits Plantation records show against your address, or an expired permit Plantation never flagged, is holding something up, this page explains how they get closed.
When a permit has gone cold, homeowners and associations call AGK Construction & Roofing as their open permit contractor Plantation, and brokers and closing attorneys hire us as the open permit company Plantation deals need when the deadline is close. We begin in the City's Accela Citizen Access portal and the Department of Building Safety records, then decide which route open permit closure Plantation requires (reopen, extend, renew, or close), submit the request, fix whatever fails with our five Florida licenses, and attend the final inspection. For open permit help Plantation staff cannot give by phone, a free permit history review is the right first step.
The City's own rule is blunt: passage of final inspection on each permit is mandatory. An open permit can therefore hold up a sale, a refinance, a certificate of use, or the next permit, and because the City treats a permit as valid for 180 days from issuance or 90 days after the last approved inspection, it can lapse sooner than most owners expect.
A Plantation permit search starts in Accela Citizen Access, the City's online portal, where anyone can search a property and check the status of a record or an inspection without creating an account. People who type plantation permit search, plantation building department, or open permit lookup Plantation into Google are usually looking for this portal. Look for permits that are issued, expired, or lack a final, and open the record to see the status and any inspection history. Many owners also try "Plantation open permits on my property" before opening the portal itself.
Here is how to find open permits Plantation records hold: search by address, check older permits under previous owners, look for separate mechanical, plumbing, and engineering permits, and compare the list with the work actually on the property. A Plantation permit status search shows only the status; to see plan review comments you open the record's attachments. Plantation building department open permits can also be confirmed with the Department of Building Safety at 401 NW 70th Terrace, and inspection searches usually come from someone trying to finish a permit.
We pull the full history free of charge, tie each permit to what was built, and explain every open item in plain English, including who is allowed to schedule the inspection.

Answers for Plantation homeowners, associations, buyers, and sellers
It is a permit that was issued but never closed with a passing final inspection. It stays visible to anyone who searches the property in the City's portal until it is finaled or cancelled.
Search the address in the City's Accela Citizen Access portal, which lets anyone check the status of a record or inspection without an account. Look for anything not finaled. Give us the address and we will do the search and walk through what it means for free.
The City says permits are valid for 180 days from issuance or 90 days after the last approved inspection, and extending or renewing means using its Permit Extension or Permit Renewal form. We confirm current requirements, file the form, correct work that no longer meets code, and finish the inspections.
According to the City, only properly licensed contractors or authorized accounts registered with the Department of Building Safety can schedule inspections, using the permit number and three-digit inspection code. If you are an owner, we handle scheduling for you.
Often yes, if the space can meet current requirements for structure, egress, and ventilation. We inspect it, tell you honestly what would have to change, and take it through an after-the-fact permit and final inspection.
Usually. Expect photos and measurements, possibly an opened wall or ceiling, and in some cases drawings or an engineer's letter. When the inspection passes, the work becomes part of the City's record.
Then it becomes your responsibility as owner. Our team reviews what was built, asks the City how to renew or reopen the original permit, and handles the inspections that never took place.
Anything beyond a small patch needs one, and a replacement always does. Roofing here has to meet hurricane-zone approvals, so a roof permit that was never finaled is the kind of thing a lien search or a buyer's inspector flags.
Yes, it can be. Replacing an AC without a permit, or never calling for the final, leaves a record gap that lenders and insurers notice. We can pull the permit, schedule the inspection, or repair what the first installer left.
A stop work order lifts when its cause is cleared: the permit is issued or renewed, off-plan work is brought into line, and an inspection signs off.
Yes. The City requires an owner/builder affidavit and a meeting with the plan reviewer before applying. If an owner-builder permit has lapsed, we can finish it or tell you what must be handed to a licensed contractor.
It can. A department generally wants old open permits resolved before it reviews a new application, so closing the earlier permit first avoids a rejected or delayed submission.
