# Development & Growth LLC

> Florida permit management, permit expediting, and land-entitlement coordination
> for builders, developers, land investors, and architects. A Gulf Coast firm
> (based on the Sarasota–Manatee coast) working across all 67 Florida counties.
> We handle both the building-permit process and the discretionary land-use
> approvals — rezoning, variances, conditional use, site-plan approval — that most
> permit expediters don't touch.

## What we do

- Permit expediting & permit management — submittal to issued permit, every department tracked.
- Land entitlements & zoning — rezoning, zoning due diligence, variances, conditional use, mixed-use, site feasibility, development strategy.
- Private provider services, impact-fee reduction, required documents, permit tracking.
- State & environmental permits (FDEP / water management districts).

## Who we serve

Custom-home builders, developers and land investors, landowners, and architects/drafting
firms. Business-to-business only — not homeowner remodels.

## Coverage model (honest)

- Deepest day-to-day relationships: Sarasota County, Manatee County, and the Gulf Coast
  barrier islands (Anna Maria Island, Siesta Key, Lido Key, Longboat Key) and City of Sarasota.
- Statewide: we coordinate permitting and entitlements in every Florida county. We are explicit
  that local relationships and knowledge are what issue permits, and we build that depth in each
  county we take on rather than claiming a track record we don't have.

## Differentiators

- "Tech + boots": modern tools (AI plan-review, portal monitoring) run by people who know the
  county — but permits issue because of expertise and relationships, not software.
- Covers the land/entitlement side most Florida permit firms don't publish or offer.
- Private-provider inspection coordination; fee-based development (owner keeps ownership).
