Private Provider Permits in Collier County
Collier County follows the statewide §553.791 private provider timelines, and disputes here most often center on NTBO authorization and how the zoning review clock interacts with the building code review clock.
A recurring point of confusion in Collier is treating zoning review as though it's covered by the same deemed-approved deadline as building code plan review. It isn't. Zoning runs on its own agency track. Where Collier submittals stall is when a zoning delay gets conflated with the private provider clock, or when a building department attempts to hold a permit pending zoning sign-off beyond what the completeness requirements under §553.791(1)(l)(4) actually call for.
Collier has also seen disputes over inspection list requirements and what a building department can demand from a private provider mid-process. When a request falls outside the statute's scope, a direct written response citing the governing subsection, rather than informal back-and-forth, is typically what resolves it.
