Permit Office (AHJ)
City of Orlando Permitting Services Division (Economic Development Department)
Orange County · Florida
MEP, structural, civil, and energy-compliance engineering for Orlando projects — permitted through City of Orlando Permitting Services Division (Economic Development Department) and designed to the city's adopted codes and amendments.
Coordinated mechanical, electrical, and plumbing design — engineered as one system, stamped by licensed professionals, and documented for fast permit approval.
Structural systems designed to the loads your state actually imposes — gravity, seismic, wind, and snow — with drawings built to get approved the first time.
Site engineering that clears local review — grading, drainage, and utilities designed to each jurisdiction's published standards from day one.
Energy compliance handled as engineering, not paperwork — documentation matched to the exact code edition your permitting jurisdiction enforces.
As a non-HVHZ jurisdiction, Orlando designs to standard FBC wind pressures with Florida Product Approval for components rather than Miami-Dade NOAs. Local layers that reshape design include City of Orlando and Orange County stormwater and floodplain ordinances, the city's Green Works / building-performance initiatives, and coordination with the regional water management district for master drainage.
Orlando's construction market is anchored by tourism and hospitality (theme parks, convention, and resort development around International Drive), strong in-migration and multifamily growth, healthcare and the Lake Nona Medical City / life-science cluster, and expanding logistics and higher-education activity. That pipeline keeps Permitting Services' review queues active, and stormwater/floodplain review often paces site schedules.
Reviewed 2026-09-11. Code editions and local requirements can change; confirm the current requirements with the authority having jurisdiction before design.
Commercial plan review runs through the City of Orlando's online Accela Citizen Access / e-permitting system, with electronic submittal and multi-discipline review across building, structural, MEP, zoning, and engineering. Orlando is not in the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, so it uses standard Florida Building Code wind provisions with Florida Product Approval rather than Miami-Dade NOAs. Private provider (private inspector/plan reviewer) service is available under Florida statute to accelerate qualifying projects, and larger developments run through concurrent development and engineering review.
