How does the property approval and construction process work? <\/div><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/path><\/svg><\/span>\n\t\t\t<\/path><\/svg><\/span>\n\t\t<\/span>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/summary>\n\t\t\t\t

After the lot purchase is completed, we begin the project and construction approval process with the County.<\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

At this stage, the initial building permit fees<\/strong> are paid. Approval typically takes around 30 days<\/strong>, although in some cases it may be granted in as little as one day<\/strong>, depending on the documentation submitted.<\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

Once the permit is approved, we conduct the lot analysis and begin the home\u2019s foundation, following the project previously approved by the investor.<\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

Each phase of construction undergoes mandatory inspections<\/strong> required by the County to ensure full compliance with local building codes and regulations.<\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

Upon completion of construction, the required Impact Fees<\/strong> are paid, and a final inspection is performed.<\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

After final approval, the property receives the Certificate of Occupancy (CO)<\/strong> \u2014 the official document authorizing legal occupancy of the home.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/details>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t
