BUILDING AND ZONING SERVICES DEPARTMENT
DEPARTMENT PERSPECTIVE, TRENDS & HIGHLIGHTS – Continued
The department is fortunate to have staff members with the ability to perform more than one vital
function for the department. Examples are field inspectors licensed to perform inspections in
several disciplines, plan reviewers who are licensed to perform inspections as well as plan review,
and an office staff who is also trained in multiple functions and often provides support for all
functions within the department.
During the past year, two Building and Zoning Services inspectors have received training and
licensure as Fire Inspectors. The two inspectors attended two hundred hours of classes and passed
testing required by Florida Statutes to be certified by the State Fire Marshal’s office. This year
Building & Zoning Services will begin providing state mandated plan review and inspections for
commercial construction projects for compliance with the Florida Fire Prevention Code in addition
to plan review and inspections for compliance with the Florida Building Code. An additional
building inspector will be in training for Fire Inspection licensing this year.
For the first seven months of fiscal year 09/10 there is a 6.5% increase in permitting compared to
the same period in fiscal year 08/09 which experienced a decrease of 20% from the first seven
months of fiscal year 07/08. Hopefully this increase is an indicator for the remainder of this year
and moving forward. As permitting activity increases, the department will adjust to maintain the
anticipated level of customer service the department strives to provide.
