The kind of MEP permit you’ll need will depend on the specific details of your project. New construction or complete gut renovations might require you to obtain a wide range of MEP permits, while specific renovation projects might only require specific permits related to the project. Fortunately, all projects can use the Broward County Uniform Permit Application. When submitting the Broward County Uniform Permit Application, you’ll also need to submit 2 sets of plans or cut sheets for review. Larger projects exceeding $2,500 in value will also require certified copies of the Notice of Commencement.
To file a Notice of Commencement, you’ll need to file the Notice of Commencement form, get the form notarized, and have it be properly recorded with Broward County Records, Taxes, and Treasury Division. Boukzam PE Consulting, Inc. can help you properly file and record the Notice of Commencement and help you complete all required forms and submit proper documentation.
Certain projects also require more specific documentation. For example, to replace or change out an A/C, you’ll also need, in addition to the Broward County Uniform Permit Application, and proper notice, an AHRI certificate, signed and sealed anchoring detail, and Broward County Uniform Data form for Residential and Light Commercial Air Conditioning Replacement—Board of Rules and Appeals Policy 19-02. A/C systems with ducts will require more extensive documentation. Boukzam PE Consulting, Inc. is an MEP engineering firm in Broward County, Florida that can help you understand which documents you’ll need and help you submit this documentation for Broward city and county review.
Plumbing jobs will also require a site survey and a Broward County Uniform Permit Application with details about the scope of work. Depending on the type of plumbing or piping project, you may also need environmental or developmental review, identification of backflow preventer, site surveys, riser diagrams, and more.

What Happens if I Don’t Have a Renovation or Construction Permit in Broward County, Florida?
Failure to secure the proper MEP permits in Broward County, Florida before you begin construction, renovations, or repair, can result in major fines, stop work orders, and even possible legal action. There are other collateral consequences that can accompany failing to secure proper permits before construction, renovation, or repairs. Work that was completed without a permit could impact your property value or could put your property in violation of codes, meaning you could face legal action or additional costs of fixing errors made without the permit. Most homeowner’s insurance plans won’t cover issues stemming from unpermitted MEP jobs. Permits can protect you from liability and ensure that your homeowners’ insurance contract will be honored. Individuals who do renovations or repairs without permits could have difficulty selling their home or a property later, especially if the buyer would need to fix permitting issues or need to secure new permits.
Getting the right licensed contractors and permits before you begin a big MEP project, renovation, or repair is essential. While it’s great to do some things DIY, some things are best left to the experts. While homeowners can work as contractors on their own home projects in Broward County, Florida, they are still required to obtain all required permits. Boukzam PE Consulting, Inc. can help you obtain the MEP permits you need to begin work.
