Is your agency ready?
HB 927 requires qualifying Florida counties and municipalities to establish development preapplication consultation programs, maintain qualified contractor registries, and support accelerated permit review processes.
Accela helps agencies create compliant, transparent, and efficient experience for staff, developers, and residents.
New requirements. New operational challenges.
Florida HB 927 introduces several new expectations for local governments, including:
-
Development preapplication consultation services
-
Qualified contractor and contractor firm registries
-
Faster application review timelines
-
Reduced duplicative reviews

Improved documentation and tracking
Meeting these requirements with spreadsheets, email, and disconnected systems can create risk and delays.
