Florida Construction Industry Commends and Thanks
City and County Building Officials for their Efforts
During the COVID-19 Response
The Florida Construction Industry commends Florida’s City and County
Building Officials for taking proactive steps to protect their staff and the
public from the spread of COVID-19 while facilitating the economic stability
of the state’s construction industry.
The vast majority of Florida’s City and County Building Officials continue to
accept building plans and permit applications electronically as well as using
technology to conduct building plan reviews and inspections, which allows
for adherence to social distancing guidelines.
The continuity of building plan submittal and review and building
inspections is important to the economic stability of the State of Florida
during the State’s COVID-19 response. Continuing to provide these crucial
functions will aid in a swift economic recovery for all Floridians after the
COVID-19 threat has passed.
The Florida Construction Industry extends its deepest gratitude to Florida’s
City and County Building Officials and to their dedicated staff.
