Building Codes Enforcement

Established in 1999, the UF Building Code Enforcement Program was formed to comply with Florida Statutes regulating construction operations for State Universities.  Today, as a member of the UF Business Services team, EH&S looks forward to working with the various construction entities through the building permitting process.

BUILDING CODE SERVICES

  • Review plans and provide comments for all construction projects at each phase of design.
  • Verify workers compensation insurance and required contractor licensing.
  • Issue building permits.
  • Perform construction progress inspections as required.
  • Issue the Certificate of Completion or Occupancy at project.
  • Provide code consultation to architects, engineers, project managers and contractors as necessary.

We have an online Portal for architects, contractors, engineers, and project managers, to apply for building permits, check permit status, schedule inspections, submit for plan reviews, and to get a quote for permit fees. The public also has access to these features and to submit a public records request. Inspections shall be requested through the portal unless otherwise notated on the portal inspection page. Documents pertaining to your active permit must be uploaded within the portal under the permit number.

All contractors are required to register on the Portal to make application and to be able to perform work as a primary or sub-contractor.

Please call EH&S at 352-392-1591 and ask for the Codes desk or email EH&S at codes@ehs.ufl.edu for any questions or issues with registration.
