Sarasota County permitting & project coordination

Sarasota County runs the modern Accela permit portal, which exposes every reviewing department, its status, and the assigned reviewer with comments annotated right on the plans. We use it to its fullest with permit tracking, but a correct package still stalls on staff errors and paper-trail gaps — and chasing those down is where local relationships matter.

We compress intake-to-submission to about a week through permit management, verifying tabulations, setbacks, and impact-fee exposure during zoning verification before plans are stamped. Knowing the county impact-fee formula up front has saved clients thousands.

The county surrounds several premium coastal markets we focus on — Siesta Key and Lido Key — and we also serve the City of Sarasota and neighboring Manatee County.
