Code Violation Legalization & After-the-Fact Permits

An open code violation doesn't fix itself — fines grow daily, liens attach, and sales fall through. As a licensed code violation contractor serving Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach, we legalize unpermitted work from start to finish: as-built drawings, after-the-fact permits, corrective construction, closing open or expired permits, and final closure of your case.

What We Handle

From Notice of Violation to Case Closed

With 8,000+ permits approved, we know exactly what each Florida municipality requires to bring a property into compliance.

Unpermitted Additions

After-the-Fact Permits

We prepare as-built drawings and engineering, submit the application and manage every inspection until approval.

Open Violations & Liens

Active code enforcement cases resolved and daily fines stopped by demonstrating a compliant path forward.

Corrective Construction

If part of the work doesn't meet code, our own licensed crews fix it — no waiting on outside contractors.

Pre-Purchase Reviews

Buying a property with red flags? We assess what's unpermitted and what legalization will realistically cost before you close.

Safe-to-Sell Closeouts

Expired permits and open cases cleared so your sale or refinance can move forward.

FAQ

Legalization Questions, Answered

What happens if I just ignore a code violation?

Fines typically accrue daily and can become a lien against the property. Liens complicate sales, refinancing and insurance. Acting quickly — and showing the county an active permit application — is the fastest way to stop the bleeding.

Can every unpermitted structure be legalized?

Most can, if the work can be brought up to code. Occasionally something must be partially rebuilt or removed. After our assessment you'll know exactly which parts qualify and what corrections are needed before we touch anything.

Do I need a lawyer, or a contractor?

For most cases, a licensed contractor who knows the permitting process is what actually closes the violation — the county wants compliant construction documented by permits and inspections. For lien negotiations we can work alongside your attorney if you have one.

How long does legalization take?

It varies by municipality and scope — simple after-the-fact permits can move in weeks, while cases requiring corrective work take longer. We give you a realistic timeline after reviewing your notice and the property.
