PRV Requirements Tracker
Post-Remediation Verification (PRV) standards vary by municipality and insurance carrier. This tracker provides current data on where independent clearance is mandatory for permit closure and claim processing in Florida.
| County / Municipality | Clearance Status | Regulatory Context |
|---|---|---|
| Pinellas County — Clearwater | Required | Mandatory for permit closure on structural repairs > $5,000. |
| Pinellas County — St. Petersburg | Required | Strictly enforced for condo remediation and shared HVAC systems. |
| Hillsborough County — Tampa | Highly Recommended | Required by most major insurance carriers for claim finalization. |
| Lee County — Cape Coral | Required | Mandatory for FEMA-funded hurricane recovery and rebuilds. |
| Sarasota County — Sarasota | Highly Recommended | Standard for real estate transaction contingency resolution. |
| Manatee County — Bradenton | Recommended | Essential for documenting moisture stabilization in CBS structures. |
Statutory Compliance (FS 468.8419)
Regardless of local building department requirements, Florida Statute 468.8419 mandates that for remediation projects exceeding $7,000, the remediation and assessment must be performed by separate licensed entities. Failure to comply can result in administrative fines and criminal penalties.
Insurance Holdbacks
Standard Florida HO-3 policies typically include a 'remediation limit' (often $10,000). Carriers increasingly require an independent PRV report before releasing the final 25–50% of claim funds, especially in Category 3 surge events.
