What matters for this in Polk County
The Polk County Building Division reviews unincorporated permits; Lakeland, Winter Haven and the other cities review their own.
Polk sits on the Lake Wales Ridge and karst ground, with sinkhole history in places, and its northeast corner reaches into the Green Swamp Area of Critical State Concern. Lakes are everywhere, so flood zone and shoreline rules come up more often than people expect.

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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
