Permit Plans in St. Petersburg: Complete Sets Built to Clear ePlan the First Time
HB Design and Engineering is headquartered in St. Petersburg and submits to the City of St. Petersburg Construction Services and Permitting Division constantly, so we know what its reviewers flag and build the whole set to answer it up front. You get one coordinated, ePlan-ready submittal.
The local-review advantage
This is home turf. The city runs plan review through its online ePlan portal, gives about 10 business days on the initial review, and keeps limited counter hours on Wednesdays, so every avoidable comment costs a full cycle. Because we are based here and file in this jurisdiction week in and week out, we front-load the wind, flood-elevation, and code-compliance documentation the way these reviewers expect to read it. St. Petersburg also enforces a stricter substantial-improvement and flood standard than the federal baseline, which trips up out-of-town firms on coastal AE and VE lots. We build those requirements in before the set hits the queue.


What you get
A complete permit set: code summary, structural and life-safety details, supporting documentation
Architecture, structural, and MEP coordinated in house so the sheets agree
Wind and flood documentation formatted for the city's ePlan portal
Comment responses and resubmittals included at a flat fee

Questions we get
A complete set compliant with the Florida Building Code 8th Edition, filed through the ePlan portal, carrying code summaries, structural and life-safety details, and wind and flood documentation. Coastal and flood-zone lots also coordinate with the city's flood damage prevention rules and AE or VE elevation requirements. We assemble all of it so the reviewer can verify compliance without kicking the set back.
Yes. If your plans came back with comments from the City of St. Petersburg, we review the set, find the real reasons it stalled, correct them, and resubmit through ePlan. Because we know how this jurisdiction reads a package, we fix the cause instead of only the surface comment.
