Services
The whole permit, start to finish
We focus on outdoor-space permits in Palm Beach, Broward and Miami-Dade. You get a fixed price and one person accountable for the whole process.
Included
Site plan on your survey
We draw your project on the survey with dimensions, setbacks and materials, the way reviewers expect it.
Plan review
Plan review responses
We read the reviewer's comments, fix them and resubmit. We talk to the city for you.
Right-of-way
Right-of-way & covenants
Driveways that reach the sidewalk or street: public works permits and recorded agreements when the city requires them.
Drawings
Sketches & details
Paver sections, fence and pergola details. When the city requires sealed drawings, we coordinate with the engineer.
Coordination
Licensed General Contractor
We work with a licensed General Contractor who serves as contractor of record when the permit requires one.
Fast track
Fences & pergolas
Usually the quickest permits. For pergolas we tell you what to ask the supplier for: the structural and energy documents (product approval) the city requires.
Selling a home
Open & expired permits
An open permit can stop a home sale or a refinance. We reopen it, tell the owner which inspections to request, and follow it until the city closes it out (final / completion).

A licensed general contractor serves as contractor of record and answers to the city for your permit. We manage the entire process with him.
Volume pricing for exclusive contractor clients: $400 per permit starting with the 6th permit within a month.
City of Miami permits are quoted in writing for each case, because the city requires in-person steps that vary by project.
How payment works: 50% to start, 25% when your permit is approved, and 25% before we hand over your permit card. On the GC-of-record route: $900 to start, $300 on approval, $300 before the card. City and county fees are billed separately and are never financed by Arvan — we send you the payment link or walk you through paying them.
Included in every price: the full application, a site plan drawn on your survey, submission through the city's portal, responses to city corrections until approval, and submission of your inspections. Not included: city/county fees, the survey (you provide it), sealed engineer plans when the city requires them (we coordinate them; the engineer is paid by you), and construction.

FAQ
What people ask us
Do you do the construction?
No. Arvan focuses on permits: we prepare, submit and follow up. Your contractor or crew does the work; when a permit requires it, we work with a licensed General Contractor as contractor of record.
How much does it cost?
Every permit gets a fixed price, in writing, before we start. City or county fees are billed separately. Use the Free Permit Check above to get your quote.
How long does it take?
It depends on the city and how many corrections the reviewer asks for. A simple permit can take a few weeks; one with right-of-way or zoning takes longer. We give you your city's estimate with the quote.
I'm selling and there's an open permit. Can you help?
Yes. We check where the permit stands, reopen it if it expired, tell you which inspections to request and in what order, and follow up until the city closes it. That way it stops holding up the sale.
What do I need to get started?
The address, photos of the area, approximate measurements, the property survey and, if there's an HOA, its approval. If you don't have a survey, we'll tell you how to get one.
How and when do I pay?
For permit processing: 50% to start, 25% when your permit is approved, and 25% before we hand over your permit card. City fees are separate and paid directly to the city — we send you the link or walk you through it.
