Gainesville Green Building Program

For Permitting And Certification:

Applicant shall submit, at the time of application, a Florida Green Building Coalition checklist, (version 2.0) “as designed.” This checklist shall have the signature of the contractor and the primary certifying agent.
The contractor shall identify any new products to be used in the building with documentation and listings of such products for the approval by the building official.
All incentives for the “Gainesville Green Building Program” will be applied at the time of application. They include the following: a. A 25% reduction of the permit fees for single family homes. b. Fast track processing fees paid from the Green Building Line item.
The building inspection department will provide a “site sign” identifying this home as a green built project. (Language to be determined)
All construction inspections will follow the normal inspection process. E.g. 24 hour notice for next working day inspection.
At the completion of the project the contractor shall submit the Florida Green Building Coalition checklist, (version 2.0) “as built.” This checklist shall, once again, have the signature of the contractor and all appropriate certifying agents, along with a Florida Green Building Coalition Green Home Standard certificate of compliance.
After review, of these documents, by the Building Official a “City of Gainesville Green Building Certificate” will be prepared and presented to the contractor.
