Sheet A-101 · The complete process
One permit. One all-in-one process.
ResCom doesn’t sell pieces of a permit. There is one service — the complete run, start to finish — and these are its eight stages, in the order they typically happen:
- STAGE · 01
Register the Contractor
We register your company with the corresponding counties, so you’re cleared to pull permits before the first job starts.
Stage 1: Contractor registration - STAGE · 02
Fill Out the Application
We fill out the permit application completely and correctly, with the supporting documents it calls for.
Stage 2: Fill out the application - STAGE · 03
Notarize the Application
Applications need a notarized signature before they can be filed. We handle the notarizing inside the run.
Stage 3: Notarize the application - STAGE · 04
File the Permit
We file the completed, notarized application with the right department, the right way — and track it from there.
Stage 4: File the permit - STAGE · 05
Plan Review
We handle every communication with the plan review department — comments, corrections, resubmittals — until your plans are approved.
Stage 5: Plan review - STAGE · 06
Utility Coordination — Shut-Offs
We work between your company and the utility companies to coordinate shut-offs so your crew can work safely.
Stage 6: Utility shut-offs - STAGE · 07
Inspection
We act as liaison with the inspector — scheduling and planning the on-site inspections around your job.
Stage 7: Inspection - STAGE · 08
Utility Coordination — Turn-Ons
After inspection, a second round of utility coordination gets services turned back on so the job hands over on schedule.
Stage 8: Utility turn-ons
That’s the typical flow — every job is different, and the stages and their order flex to fit the specific project. What never changes is the product: one all-in-one service, handled start to finish. For example, a new construction job may need several rounds of inspections, with utility shut-offs and turn-ons only at the very end — the stages flex, the all-in-one coverage doesn’t.

- 03

Permit filed, plan review answered, utility shut-offs coordinated, and inspections scheduled.
- 04
You build
Permit issued, inspections passed, utilities turned back on — your crew stays on the tools, not in line.
Sheet A-103 · Field notes
Built for the trades, drawn like a blueprint
Permitting is a drawing set of its own: forms, revisions, comments, stamps, and sign-offs. One missing sheet holds up the whole job. ResCom keeps the full set in order — every form filed, every comment answered, every inspection on the calendar — for trade businesses working in West Palm Beach.
- One point of contact for the whole permit, start to finish
- Plain updates in plain language — no department jargon
- Your time back: hours at the counter become hours on the job
Sheet A-104 · Common questions
Questions contractors ask
A permit runner (also called a permit expeditor) handles one complete process for you: registering your company, filling out and filing the application, notarizing it, handling all plan review communications, coordinating utilities for shut-offs and turn-ons, and scheduling inspections — so you don’t have to spend your day at the building department.
In most cases, yes — your company has to be registered with the county before permits can be issued in your name. ResCom handles that registration as Stage 1 of the process. More on Stage 1: contractor registration.
No — and that’s deliberate. ResCom is one all-in-one, start-to-finish product: registration, filling out and filing the paperwork, notarizing, plan review, utility coordination, and inspection coordination are stages of the same process, not separate services you pick from. One hire covers the whole permit, so no stage gets dropped between handoffs. The exact stages and their order flex to fit your specific job — the all-in-one coverage doesn’t.
ResCom is based in West Palm Beach and runs permits for trade businesses with jobs in West Palm Beach. See the service area.

Sheet A-200 · General notes
About ResCom Permitting Services in West Palm Beach, FL
A permit running service built for one customer: the busy trade contractor who would rather be building than standing at a permit counter.
The short version
ResCom Permitting Services is a new, West Palm Beach–based permit runner for trade-based businesses. When a job needs a permit, ResCom runs the whole process — it is one all-in-one service, start to finish, not a menu of separate pieces. Typically it runs: registering your company with the corresponding counties, filling out the application, notarizing the application, filing the permit, handling all communications with the plan review department, coordinating utility shut-offs, scheduling and planning the on-site inspection, and coordinating utility turn-ons at the end. The exact stages and their order flex to fit the specific job — what never changes is that all of it is handled.
Think of it like the drawing set for a job. Every sheet matters, every revision has to match, and nothing gets built until the set is approved. Most contractors lose hours — sometimes days — chasing those sheets. ResCom’s whole job is to keep the set moving so yours doesn’t stop.
How ResCom works with you
- One contact, start to finish. You always know who has your permit and where it stands.
- Plain language. Updates you can read in ten seconds between jobs — what was filed, what came back, what happens next.
- Built around your schedule. Inspections and utility work are planned around your crew, not the other way around.

Sheet A-300 · The complete process
The Complete Permit Process in West Palm Beach, FL
This is the whole product: one all-in-one process that carries a permit from first registration to final turn-on. Every ResCom engagement includes the full process — nothing is sold separately, and no stage is left for you to chase. The eight stages below are the typical flow; the exact steps and their order flex to fit your specific job.
- STAGE · 01
Register the Contractor
Registration with the corresponding counties so your company is cleared to pull permits.
Stage 1: Contractor registration in West Palm Beach - STAGE · 02
Fill Out the Application
The application filled out completely and correctly, per each department’s requirements.
Stage 2: Fill out the application in West Palm Beach - STAGE · 03
Notarize the Application
The application notarized — a required step before it can be filed, handled inside the run.
Stage 3: Notarize the application in West Palm Beach - STAGE · 04
File the Permit
The completed, notarized application filed with the right department, then tracked.
Stage 4: File the permit in West Palm Beach - STAGE · 05
Plan Review
Every communication with the plan review department handled for you, throughout the process.
Stage 5: Plan review in West Palm Beach - STAGE · 06
Utility Coordination — Shut-Offs
A go-between for your company and the utilities to coordinate shut-offs before the work.
Stage 6: Utility shut-offs in West Palm Beach - STAGE · 07
Inspection
On-site inspections scheduled and planned with the inspector around your job timeline.
Stage 7: Inspection in West Palm Beach - STAGE · 08
Utility Coordination — Turn-Ons
A second round of utility coordination after inspection, turning services back on.
Stage 8: Utility turn-ons in West Palm Beach
Every job runs differently
That’s the typical flow — every job is different, and the stages and their order flex to fit the specific project. What never changes is the product: one all-in-one service, handled start to finish.
For example: a new construction job can mean multiple rounds of inspections, and utility shut-offs and turn-ons might not happen until the very end. Other jobs call for different inspections entirely — an underground inspection, a rough inspection, a final inspection. The order of the processes doesn’t necessarily matter. The emphasis is the all-in-one, start-to-finish product: registration, filling and filing paperwork, notarizing, plan review, utility coordination, and inspection coordination — all handled, whatever order your job needs them in.
Home / The Process / Stage 1 · Contractor Registration
Sheet A-301 · Stage 1 of the complete process
Contractor Registration in West Palm Beach, FL
Before you can pull a permit, your company has to be registered with the county. ResCom gets that done for you — once, correctly, and before it can slow a job down. This is Stage 1 of ResCom’s one complete process — the first stage of the single all-in-one service, not a standalone offering.
What this covers
- Registering your contracting company with the corresponding counties where your jobs are located
- Gathering the company and license information each county asks for
- Filing the registration and confirming you’re cleared to apply for permits
- Flagging renewals and re-registrations so a lapsed registration never surprises you mid-job
Who it helps
Contractors new to Palm Beach County, companies expanding into West Palm Beach, and busy shops that don’t want to burn a morning on registration paperwork. Once you’re registered, the same run moves straight on — to filling out your permit application (Stage 2) and everything after it, all the way to final turn-on.

Sheet A-302 · Stages 2 & 4 of the complete process
Permit Applications in West Palm Beach, FL
The application is where most permit delays are born — a blank field, a wrong form, a missing document. ResCom fills out your application completely and correctly — that’s Stage 2 — and, once it’s notarized at Stage 3, files it: Stage 4. Both stages are part of the one complete process, covered in depth on this page.
What this covers
- Stage 2 — Filling out permit applications with your company, license, and job information
- Assembling the supporting documents the application calls for
- Stage 4 — After the application is notarized (Stage 3), filing it with the right department, the right way
- Tracking the application after filing and keeping you updated on its status
Why it matters
A clean, complete application gets into plan review (Stage 5) faster and comes back with fewer comments. And it all sits inside the same run: contractor registration at Stage 1 comes first, notarizing at Stage 3 sits between filling out and filing — one process, in order.
← Previous stage: 1 · Register the contractorNext stage: 3 · Notarize the application →
Home / The Process / Stages 6 & 8 · Utility Coordination
Sheet A-305 · Stages 6 & 8 of the complete process
Utility Coordination in West Palm Beach, FL
Panel swap? Service upgrade? New build tie-in? Utility coordination is the one stage that appears twice in the process: shut-offs at Stage 6, before the inspection, and turn-ons at Stage 8, after it. When the job needs power or service shut off — and back on, on time — ResCom is the go-between, both times.
What this covers
- Acting as liaison between your company and the utility companies
- Stage 6 — Coordinating shut-offs so your crew can work safely
- Stage 8 — Coordinating turn-ons after inspection, so the job hands over on schedule
- Aligning utility timing with your permit and inspection schedule
- Flexing the timing to the job — on some projects, like new construction, shut-offs and turn-ons don’t happen until the very end
Why it matters
Utility windows and inspection windows rarely line themselves up. One missed call can leave a crew idle or a customer without power overnight. ResCom keeps both calendars in the same conversation.
← Previous stage: 5 · Plan reviewNext stage: 7 · Inspection →
Home / The Process / Stage 7 · Inspection
Sheet A-306 · Stage 7 of the complete process
Inspection Scheduling in West Palm Beach, FL
An inspection that isn’t scheduled is a job that isn’t finished. ResCom works directly with the inspector’s office to get your on-site inspections booked and planned. This is Stage 7 of the one complete process — after utility shut-offs at Stage 6, before turn-ons at Stage 8.
What this covers
- Acting as liaison between your company and the inspector
- Scheduling on-site inspections at the right stage of the job
- Planning inspection timing around your crew and your customer
- Coordinating whatever inspection types the job calls for — underground, rough, final, and everything between
- Re-booking and follow-up when a job needs another visit — new construction, for example, can mean multiple rounds of inspections
Why it matters
Underground, rough, final — the types and the number of rounds depend on the job, and each one has to happen on time or the next trade can’t start. ResCom watches the sequence so you can watch the work, with the plan review communications from Stage 5 still running alongside — all stages of the same complete process.
← Previous stage: 6 · Utility shut-offsFinal stage: 8 · Utility turn-ons →
Home / The Process / Stage 5 · Plan Review
Sheet A-304 · Stage 5 of the complete process
Plan Review Communications in West Palm Beach, FL
Comments, corrections, resubmittals — plan review is a conversation, and it stalls the moment nobody answers. ResCom stays in that conversation for you, the whole way through. This is Stage 5 of the one complete process — it begins once the permit is filed at Stage 4, and the communications run throughout the process from there.
What this covers
- All communications with the plan review department, throughout the entire process
- Receiving reviewer comments and getting them to the right person fast
- Submitting corrections and resubmittals until the plans are approved
- Status updates to you in plain language at every step
Why it matters
Every unanswered comment is a day your permit isn’t moving. With ResCom answering the department, your application keeps its place in line — building on the clean permit application filled out at Stage 2 and filed at Stage 4 of the same run.
← Previous stage: 4 · File the permitNext stage: 6 · Utility shut-offs →
Home / The Process / Stage 3 · Notary
Sheet A-303 · Stage 3 of the complete process
Notary Services in West Palm Beach, FL
A permit application needs a notarized signature before a department will file it — so notarizing sits early in the process, at Stage 3, right between filling out the application and filing it. It’s built into ResCom’s one complete process: no separate trip, no extra delay, and not a standalone service.
What this covers
- Notarizing the permit application (Stage 3) so it can be filed at Stage 4
- Handling notarization inside your permit run, exactly when the paperwork calls for it
- Notarizing any other documents the process requires, at the point in the run where they come up
Good to know
Bring a valid photo ID for the signer — notary law requires it. If the document is part of a permit application ResCom is filing for you, the notarizing happens at Stage 3 of the same process, just before that filing.

How It Works — Permit Running in West Palm Beach, FL
Send the job once — then one all-in-one process runs it, start to finish. These are the eight stages in their typical order; every job is different, so the exact steps and their order flex to fit the specific project.
- STAGE 01
Register the contractor
It starts when you send the job. ResCom registers your company with the corresponding counties so you’re cleared to pull the permit.
- STAGE 02
Fill out the application
The permit application is filled out completely, with the supporting documents it calls for.
- STAGE 03
Notarize the application
The application is notarized — required before it can be filed, handled inside the run.
- STAGE 04
File the permit
The completed, notarized application is filed with the right department and tracked from there.
- STAGE 05
Plan review
ResCom handles all communications with the plan review department — comments, corrections, and resubmittals, throughout the process.
- STAGE 06
Utility coordination — shut-offs
ResCom coordinates utility shut-offs with the utility companies so your crew can work safely.
- STAGE 07
Inspection
ResCom works with the inspector to schedule and plan the on-site inspections — underground, rough, final, or repeat rounds, whatever the job calls for.
- STAGE 08
Utility coordination — turn-ons
A second round of utility coordination turns services back on — and you get plain-language updates the whole way, start to finish.
That’s the typical flow — every job is different, and the stages and their order flex to fit the specific project. What never changes is the product: one all-in-one service, handled start to finish. For example, new construction may need multiple rounds of inspections with shut-offs and turn-ons only at the very end; another job may run underground, rough, and final inspections in a different order entirely.
