What type of home do you want to build? Who is your architect? Engineer? Builder? Plumber? HVAC? Electrician?
03
Permit
Obtain the necessary permits for your construction project. Who is your agent?

Hire
Are timelines and project plans set across trades? What are the project timeline and execution milestones? Are contractors being held accountable for delays? Is your GC overcharging you?
About Us
Our family purchased land in the Keys in the 1970’s. We’ve seen how the Keys have changed. We lived in NYC and when COVID hit, we finally decided to develop our family land. We found there to be no transparency regarding the building process and our General Contractor despite having an extensive real estate background. We were definitely charged a “non-local” tax until we took hold of the project. We learned so much and want to help others avoid the landmines we hit. Building can be easy if you know how to navigate it and find reliable, trustworthy partners.
The Rate Of Growth Ordinance caps development to allow for evacuation of the Florida Keys within 24 hours.
ROGO limits the amount of building permits and is set to expire in the next few years. Permits are issued on a point basis. Seven permits are allocated each quarter to the applications with the highest number of points.
Points are based on location of the lot, time on the application waitlist, green energy initiatives. You can find the criteria here.
The current permits are going to applications with 42 points. Find the list here.
