★ Orange County specifics

What matters for this in Orange County

Orange County Building Safety reviews residential plans under the Florida Building Code in unincorporated Orange; inside Orlando, Winter Park and the other cities the city building department reviews instead.

Orange County parcels carry overlays a quick zoning lookup misses: the Wekiva Study Area in the northwest, the Econlockhatchee River protection corridor in the east, and Rural Settlement boundaries that cap density regardless of the zoning district. The Environmental Protection Division (EPD) conservation-area and tree rules decide how much of a wooded lot is actually buildable.

100%Credited

100% fee credit toward construction

When you build your home, ADU or garage with Brightview Homes, every dollar you paid Brightview for due diligence, entitlements and demolition coordination is credited back against your construction agreement. Pre-construction fees are credited in full against the construction contract price at signing.

  1. Applies to full-cycle building agreements (a home on your lot or custom home, a turnkey ADU, or a custom detached multi-car garage or workshop) with a contract value of $100,000 or more.
  2. Fees are earned as each filing, audit or field visit is completed and are not refundable. The credit is applied against the final construction draw or the pre-construction contract balance, never paid out in cash.
  3. Credits stay valid for 12 months from delivery of the completed work or permit closeout.

The credit covers Brightview's fees. Surveyor, engineer, attorney and government fees are paid directly to those providers and are not part of the credit.
