Commercial Permits Are Different From Residential. Here's How.
A residential site plan is one drawing — a scaled top-down view of a lot.
A commercial site plan is a coordinated package that must satisfy zoning, fire, ADA, stormwater, and engineering requirements simultaneously. Miss any one of those disciplines and the permit application is rejected.
Here is what makes commercial different:
| Element | Residential | Commercial |
|---|---|---|
|
PE
PE stamp
|
Sometimes | Always required — no exceptions |
|
P
Parking layout
|
Not required | Required — including ADA-compliant spaces |
|
A
ADA accessibility
|
Not required | Required — paths of travel, ramps, signage |
|
F
Fire lane
|
Not required | Required — width, radius, clear height marked |
|
D
Drainage plan
|
Sometimes | Required — stormwater management |
|
U
Utility connections
|
Basic notation | Full utility plan |
|
S
Setbacks
|
From property lines | Required review — property lines + fire separation distances |
|
R
Review timeline
|
2–4 weeks | Typically longer — 4–8 weeks |
The PE stamp is the most consequential difference. Commercial building permits require PE-stamped drawings throughout the United States — not just in Florida. There are no exceptions.
Commercial Project Types We Cover
Tenant Improvement (TI)
Converting an existing commercial space. New floor plan, updated MEP, ADA path of travel analysis. Most common commercial permit type we prepare. Requires PE stamp on structural and MEP drawings.

Converting a retail space to a restaurant, office to medical, or warehouse to retail triggers a Change of Occupancy review. ADA compliance from the public right-of-way to the primary function area. Life safety review.

| 301–400 spaces | 8 | 8 | 4 |
| 401–500 spaces | 9 | 9 | 4 plus 1 per 100 |

PE Stamp — Mandatory for All Commercial Permits in the United States
Every commercial building permit in the United States requires drawings stamped by a licensed Professional Engineer.
This is not a Florida-specific rule. It applies in all 50 states. It applies to tenant improvements, new construction, change of occupancy, and commercial additions. There are no size or cost thresholds that exempt a commercial project from PE stamp.
What our commercial PE stamp includes:
- Florida-licensed PE (or licensed in the applicable state) review of all applicable drawings
- PE’s original signature, seal, and date on each structural and applicable sheet
- FBPE registration number on Florida projects
- Electronic seal (PDF) — accepted by all US building department portals

HVHZ (Miami-Dade + Broward)
All commercial permits require PE stamp (same as everywhere) PLUS wind load documentation, NOA-certified materials, and HVHZ-specific plan notation.
Florida Energy Conservation Code (FECC)
All commercial buildings with conditioned space must demonstrate energy compliance. Commercial energy compliance reports accompany the permit set.
Local municipal review:
Many Florida cities have their own building departments independent of the county — Fort Lauderdale, Miami, Tampa, Orlando, Hialeah each have their own permit portal separate from the county system.
Serving All 50 U.S. States
Every drawing set is prepared according to applicable state, county, and local permitting requirements.
State & Local Permit Requirements
Each site plan is formatted using available parcel information, applicable setbacks, zoning requirements, and local submission standards for the property’s jurisdiction.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Does every commercial permit require a PE stamp?
Yes. Commercial building permits require PE-stamped drawings throughout all 50 US states — no exceptions, no size thresholds, no cost exemptions. → PE Stamp Services
How long does a commercial permit take?
Commercial permits take longer than residential — typically 4–8 weeks for review after submission. HVHZ counties (Miami-Dade and Broward) take 8–14 weeks. We prepare the drawings in 24–72 hours; the timeline is the building department’s review period.
What is an ADA path of travel and why is it on my site plan?
ADA requires that when you make alterations to a commercial space, you must also bring the path of travel from the public right-of-way to the altered area into ADA compliance. This path — parking spaces, curb ramps, walkways, entrance — must be documented on the site plan.
Can you prepare commercial site plans for all 50 states?
Yes. Every state, every county. PE stamp from a licensed engineer in the applicable state.
Do you handle commercial permits in Florida's HVHZ counties?
Yes. Miami-Dade and Broward commercial permits require additional documentation: wind load calculations, NOA-certified materials, HVHZ plan notation, and PE stamp. We prepare all of it. → Miami Commercial
