CIty of Jacksonville - Green Building Expedited Plan Review

Get expedited plan review for your new construction or renovation project when you pursue LEED certification, potentially saving time in the permitting process. You may also qualify for a refund of your sustainable building certification costs through the Sustainable Building Certification Refund Grant Program; contact (904) 255-8310 or ECavin@coj.net for details on eligibility and amounts.

Your clients can access faster building plan reviews if their projects achieve LEED certification, reducing project timeline risk for residential or commercial new construction and retrofits. Ensure customers know they may be eligible for a refund of certification costs, which strengthens the business case for green building.

This expedited review program removes barriers to LEED certification by streamlining the plan review process for qualifying new construction and major renovations. A companion Sustainable Building Certification Refund Grant Program reimburses actual certification costs; administer both through the Environmental Protection Board to encourage residential and commercial developers to meet LEED standards.
