Freedom Code Compliance (FCC) gives roofers a faster way forward. Backed by Florida Statute 553.791 and the new HB 683 law, FCC provides roofing contractors with three core services designed to keep projects moving:


  • 24-Hour Plan Reviews

  • Same-Day Virtual Inspections

  • Full-Service Permit Expediting


The Problem with Traditional Roofing Inspections


Roofing contractors know the pain:


  • Waiting days for inspectors after underlayment is exposed

  • Crews bouncing between jobs instead of completing one efficiently

  • Homeowners left with half-finished roofs at risk of rain damage


These delays don’t just slow jobs — they hurt your reputation and bottom line.


FCC’s Roofing-Focused Services


24-Hour Plan Reviews

Don’t let backlogged building departments stall your start date. FCC reviews roofing plans within 24 hours, giving you faster permit approvals so jobs get scheduled sooner.


Same-Day Virtual Inspections

With FCC’s virtual inspection platform, you request an inspection the moment work is ready. Crews submit photos or videos tied to GPS, and FCC’s licensed inspectors provide results the same day — often within hours. That means no more leaving underlayment exposed, no more wasted payroll, and no more scheduling chaos.


Full-Service Permit Expediting

Every city has its own requirements, and missed details can cause costly setbacks. FCC handles roofing permits start to finish, across 170+ jurisdictions in Florida. We ensure accurate submissions, track approvals, and deliver digital records directly to you.


HB 683: A Game-Changer for Florida Roofers


As of July 1, 2024, HB 683 requires building departments to issue permits for single-trade projects — like roofing — within 5 business days when you use a private provider.

For roofers, this is huge:


  • Faster permits mean faster starts

  • Less downtime waiting on approvals

  • More jobs completed each month


FCC helps you leverage this law so your roofing business stays competitive.


Why Roofers Choose Freedom Code Compliance


  • Speed: 24-hour plan reviews & same-day inspections

  • Efficiency: Crews finish jobs without interruption

  • Protection: Reduce the risk of rain damage on exposed roofs

  • Simplicity: One team handles reviews, inspections, and permits


Conclusion


In Florida roofing, time is money — and waiting on city inspectors is no longer an option. Freedom Code Compliance gives roofing contractors the tools to work faster, safer, and more profitably. With HB 683 on your side, there’s never been a better time to use a private provider.
