The Loxahatchee Groves differenceSection 02 of 15

There is no morning phone call that saves you here.

Every builder has done it. The inspection is booked, the work is nearly there, and at seven in the morning somebody rings to push it to tomorrow. It is a small, ordinary safety valve, and most municipalities allow it.

Loxahatchee Groves does not. The Town states, without qualification, that "inspections cannot be scheduled, canceled, or rescheduled once an inspector has been assigned". Once the assignment exists, the visit is happening, and the only variable left is whether the work passes. That single rule changes how a programme has to be built: an inspection is called on the strength of what is genuinely finished, not on what is optimistically expected to be finished, and the booking decision moves earlier in the process — behind a 3 p.m. cut-off the day before. On a Loxahatchee Groves job we would rather book an inspection a day late than call one a day early, because only one of those two mistakes is recoverable.

The ruleNO RESCHEDULING

Once an inspector has been assigned, the Town states an inspection cannot be scheduled, cancelled or rescheduled.

The cut-off3 P.M. THE DAY BEFORE

The Town publishes a cut-off time of 3 p.m. the day before the intended inspection day.

The consequenceCALL IT LATE, NOT EARLY

A failed inspection cannot be quietly withdrawn, so we book on finished work rather than on expected work.

What we do hereSection 03 of 15

The work Loxahatchee Groves owners ask us for.

Elbaz Construction is a licensed general contractor working across Palm Beach County. Loxahatchee Groves is a rural town of large acreage lots west of Wellington, and the projects here tend to be generous in plan and genuinely private.

01Kitchen remodelingOften the whole ground-floor plan at once.

On a large open plan the kitchen is the room every other space is organised around.

02Bathroom renovationOne room, or every bathroom at once.

Waterproofing is inspected before tiling, and here that inspection is one you cannot postpone once it is assigned.

03Whole-home renovationEvery room, run as one programme.

One permit record and one accountable contractor rather than several trades arriving in whatever order suits them.

04Room additionsWhere acreage means the constraint is code, not space.

An addition is a zoning and setback question before it is a construction one, even on a large lot.

05Re-roofingThe Town has its own submission rule for it.

The re-roof affidavit and its photographs must be submitted to the portal as PDF documents, which is a real requirement rather than a preference.

06Impact windows and doorsGlazing approved for the wind zone.

Palm Beach County specifies for high wind loads; approvals and anchorage details are reviewed rather than assumed.

07Outdoor livingCovered terraces, summer kitchens and screen enclosures.

On an acreage lot the outside rooms are often the point of the house, and they are permitted construction like any other.

08Flooring throughoutIncluding patterned and encaustic tile.

A patterned floor is set out from a centre line before anything is laid; it cannot be corrected at the far wall.

09Whole-house services upgradesWhere a rural property has outgrown its original supply.

Electrical and water systems on older acreage properties are frequently the real scope hiding behind a cosmetic brief.

South Florida projects by Elbaz Construction

Both sets are Elbaz Construction projects in South Florida. Neither is represented as being in Loxahatchee Groves, and the two sets are not the same property.

Project recordSection 05 of 15

What these two projects show.

Handleless cabinetry has nowhere to hide

A grip rail or a shadow gap instead of a handle means every door alignment is visible from across the room. It is a manufacturing tolerance decision as much as a design one.

Lighting under a run is first-fix work

The lit line beneath the upper cabinets was wired before the joinery arrived. There is no version of that decision taken at the end.

An island facing a garden is a services problem

Sink, waste and power in the middle of a room all have to be routed under the floor before it closes, and on a single-storey plan that means early.

A patterned floor sets the colour, not the other way round

The encaustic tile in the second set was chosen first and the vanity colour matched to it. Doing that in the other order almost never works.

Why it matters hereSection 06 of 15

In Loxahatchee Groves an inspection is a commitment rather than an appointment, which rewards a contractor who is honest about readiness.

The Town publishes a small set of firm rules, and every one of them is worth knowing before a programme is agreed.

01An assignment is final

No cancelling, no rescheduling

Once an inspector is assigned the visit happens, so the only question left is whether the work passes.

02Everything is electronic now

MGO only, since 13 January 2025

Registrations and building permits are processed only through the MGO portal, and inspections are scheduled there too.

03Inspections run the full week

Monday through Friday

The Town states inspections can now be scheduled Monday through Friday through the portal.

04Re-roof submissions have a format

Affidavit and photographs, as PDF

The Town states in capitals that the re-roof affidavit and pictures must be submitted to MGO as PDF documents.

05Private providers are regulated

Registered before contracting

A private provider must register with the local enforcement agency before contracting to provide services in that jurisdiction.

06The code edition is stated

8th Edition, from 1 January 2024

The Town states the 8th Edition of the Florida Building Code took effect 31 December 2023 and applies to applications submitted on or after 1 January 2024.

The wind zone, the water table and the wet season apply across South Florida and are planned for on every project we run. What is specific here is that an inspection, once assigned, is not movable.

06A second property: large tile, a lit niche, a black shelf
Completed workSection 07 of 15

The same standard, room by room.

The second set is a different property and a bathroom, and it is here because a patterned floor under a strong colour is a good example of a decision that has to be made early or not at all.

SpecificationSection 08 of 15

What gets specified differently here.

Not an exhaustive list — the six decisions where this county, this rural setting and this Town’s published process change the answer.

Windows and doors
Approved for the wind zone
Palm Beach County specifies for high wind loads. Every glazed unit carries a product approval and an anchorage detail, and both are reviewed.Keep tracks and weeps clear; check seals and anchors before each season.
Roofing
A documented submission, in a stated format
The Town requires the re-roof affidavit and its photographs to reach the portal as PDF documents, so the photography is part of the deliverable rather than an afterthought.Photograph the finished roof yourself as well; keep it with the permit record.
Handleless joinery
Tolerances, not just fronts
Without handles every misalignment shows. The carcasses are set to a tighter tolerance and the fronts are adjusted after the floor is down.Re-check alignment after the first year; adjustment is designed in.
Integrated lighting
First fix, inside the joinery
Lit shadow gaps and under-run lighting are wired before the cabinetry arrives and inspected with the rest of the electrical work.Use the specified lamp and driver; keep the driver accessible.
Encaustic and patterned tile
Set out, sealed, and chosen first
A pattern is set out from a centre line across the room, and cement-bodied tiles are sealed before and after grouting.Re-seal as specified; avoid acidic cleaners entirely.
Rural services
Supply capacity checked, not assumed
On acreage properties the existing electrical supply, water and drainage are surveyed before a scope is priced, because they are frequently the real work.Keep service records; test protective devices annually.

How we run itSection 09 of 15

Nine stages, in order.

01

Address and scope

What the work is, what kind of building it is, and what an acreage lot brings with it in services and access.

02

Survey and conditions

What is actually there — on a rural property that means the supply, the water and the drainage as much as the structure.

03

The readiness rule, agreed up front

Because an assigned inspection cannot be moved, we agree with the owner at the start that inspections are called on finished work rather than on hopeful work.

04

Drawings, resolved

A set complete enough to be reviewed once rather than three times, against the 8th Edition of the code.

05

Products and approvals

Glazing, doors and roofing selected with their approvals attached, because that documentation is part of the review.

06

Registration and filing through MGO

Everything is electronic here, so registrations and the permit application go through the Town’s portal.

07

Comments answered as a set

A partial answer starts another cycle rather than closing the one you are in.

08

Inspections booked on finished work

Called before the 3 p.m. cut-off the day before, and only when the work will genuinely pass, because the assignment cannot be undone.

09

Closeout and the record

Final inspections, any certificate that applies, and the documents handed over.

Town of Loxahatchee GrovesSection 10 of 15

The Town’s own rules, as it publishes them.

The rule that shapes everything
The Town states: "Inspections cannot be scheduled, canceled, or rescheduled once an inspector has been assigned." There is no qualification attached to that sentence.
What it means on site
The morning phone call that pushes an inspection to tomorrow does not exist here. Once assigned, the inspector is coming, and the only remaining variable is whether the work passes.
The booking cut-off
The Town states "the cut-off time for inspections is 3 p.m. the day before the intended inspection day", so the decision is taken on what will actually be finished by the end of that day.
Everything is electronic
The Town states that as of 13 January 2025, registrations and building permits are only processed electronically via the MGO portal, and that inspections can now be scheduled Monday through Friday through the same system.
Re-roof submissions
The Town states, in capitals: "ALL RE-ROOF AFFIDAVIT AND PICTURES MUST BE SUBMITTED TO MGO AS A PDF DOCUMENT(S)". The format is part of the requirement.
Private providers, registration
The Town reproduces the statutory scheme: a provider "must register with the local enforcement agency in the jurisdiction in which the provider or firm is working before contracting to provide services".
Private providers, keeping it current
A provider must "update its registration within 5 business days after any change to the provider’s or firm’s contact information, licensure, or insurance coverage", and the local agency "may not charge an administrative fee for registration".
Which code edition applies
The Town states the 8th Edition of the Florida Building Code took effect 31 December 2023 and that applications submitted on or after 1 January 2024 must comply with it.
What is not ours to state
Fees, how quickly the portal turns a permit around, and whether a particular inspection slot exists on a particular day are all the Town’s to answer. We ask with you rather than guessing on your behalf.

Every statement above is the Town of Loxahatchee Groves’ published position as read on 19 August 2026 at loxahatcheegrovesfl.gov. Municipal procedure changes; confirm the current requirement with the Building Department before relying on any of it. No fee is quoted here and no staff member is named.

The routeSection 11 of 15

From an address to a closed record.

Five steps. The fourth is the one that is genuinely local, and on a Loxahatchee Groves project it is the step that cannot be taken back.

01

Place the property

What kind of building it is, what the lot is, and what the existing services will actually support.

02

Decide the scope

Which trades it involves and how much of the envelope comes off. That decides the inspection list, which here is a list of commitments.

03

Register and file through MGO

Everything is electronic since January 2025, so registrations and the application go through the Town’s portal, with re-roof material as PDF where it applies.

04

Book only finished work

Before 3 p.m. the day before — and only when the work will pass, because once an inspector is assigned the visit cannot be cancelled or moved.

05

Inspect and close

The inspections happen, then any certificate that applies and the documents handed over.

Owner’s guideSection 12 of 15

What actually moves a Loxahatchee Groves project.

We do not publish prices, and we do not publish the Town’s fees or portal turnaround as if they were ours to promise. What follows is where the number and the calendar actually move.

What moves the number

What the existing services will carry
On an acreage property the supply, the water and the drainage are surveyed first, and they are often the real scope behind a cosmetic brief.
Whether services move inside the house
Keeping a sink, a hob or a soil stack where it is costs far less than relocating it, because relocation is work in the floor.
How much is structural
Removing a wall means engineering before it means construction, and engineering is a cost and a lead time at once.
Joinery tolerance
Handleless cabinetry is manufactured and installed to a tighter tolerance, and that precision is the product.
Integrated lighting
Lit joinery is first-fix electrical work with its own inspection, not a fitting chosen at the end.
Patterned tile
Setting out, waste allowance and sealing all cost more than a plain floor, and they are what make the pattern read correctly.
Access on a rural lot
Deliveries, plant and waste removal on acreage are a real line rather than an assumption.
Reinstatement
Making everything good afterwards is invisible in the finished photograph and it is genuinely part of the job.

What moves the calendar

Whether inspections are called honestly
This is the big one in Loxahatchee Groves. An assigned inspector cannot be stood down, so calling one a day early is a failure you cannot withdraw.
The 3 p.m. cut-off
The booking decision is taken on the strength of what will genuinely be finished by the end of that day.
How complete the submittal is
A package reviewed once moves; a package reviewed three times does not.
Whether re-roof material was formatted correctly
Affidavit and photographs as PDF documents to the portal. A wrong format is a resubmission.
Whether a private provider is being used
If so, their registration has to be in place before contracting, and kept current within five business days of any change.
Weather
Anything opening the roof or the envelope is planned around the wet season rather than surprised by it.

Bring to the first call

  • The property address.
  • What kind of building it is, and roughly when it was built.
  • What you want to do, in plain words.
  • Whether anything is moving: a wall, a sink, a soil stack.
  • What you know about the property’s electrical supply, water and drainage.
  • Any drawings, survey or permit paperwork you already hold.
Before you callSection 13 of 15

What a first conversation covers.

Twenty minutes on the phone, or at the property, answers most of it. We will talk about what the scope opens, what the existing services will support, and how the inspection sequence has to be planned here.

  • The property address and roughly when the house was built.
  • Whether the work stays inside the existing footprint.
  • What you know about the electrical supply, water and drainage.
  • Whether the roof is part of the scope.

Questions, answered.

Loxahatchee Groves questions

Can an inspection be moved once it is booked?

Not once an inspector has been assigned. The Town states that inspections cannot be scheduled, cancelled or rescheduled after that point, which is unusual and which shapes how the whole programme has to be run.

What happens if the work is not ready?

The inspection still happens, and it fails. That is why we call an inspection on finished work rather than on expected work, and why we would rather book a day late than a day early.

When does an inspection have to be booked by?

The Town publishes a cut-off of 3 p.m. the day before the intended inspection day, so the decision is made on the strength of what will genuinely be complete by the end of that day.

How are permits applied for?

Electronically. The Town states that as of 13 January 2025, registrations and building permits are only processed through the MGO portal, and that inspections can now be scheduled Monday through Friday through the same system.

Is there anything special about a re-roof application?

Yes. The Town states that the re-roof affidavit and pictures must be submitted to MGO as PDF documents. The format is part of the requirement, not a preference.

What is a private provider, and can I use one?

A private provider carries out plan review or inspections in place of the local agency under Florida Statutes 553.79. The Town reproduces the rules: the provider must register with the local enforcement agency before contracting to provide services in that jurisdiction, and must update its registration within five business days of any change to contact details, licensure or insurance.

Does the Town charge for that registration?

The Town reproduces the statutory position that the local agency may not charge an administrative fee for the registration. Any other fee is the Town’s to state, not ours.

Which edition of the building code applies?

The Town states that the 8th Edition of the Florida Building Code took effect on 31 December 2023 and that applications submitted on or after 1 January 2024 must comply with it.

Do I need a permit to remodel a bathroom?

Almost certainly, because a bathroom remodel involves plumbing and usually electrical work. What your specific scope requires is the Building Department’s to state, and it is a short question rather than a guess.

Do you handle the permit and the inspections?

Yes. We register and file through the portal, answer the review as a set, and book every inspection — on finished work, before the cut-off. What we will not do is promise a turnaround that is the Town’s to decide.

Why Elbaz.

Licensed general contractor

Licence CBC1265280 — licensed, bonded and insured, so several permitted scopes on one property run under a single contract.

We call inspections on finished work

Where an assigned inspector cannot be stood down, honesty about readiness is the single most valuable habit a contractor can have.

We book before the cut-off

The decision is made against what will genuinely be complete, not against what somebody hopes will be.

We file electronically, correctly

Everything runs through the portal here, including re-roof affidavits and photographs as PDF documents.

We survey rural services before pricing

On acreage the supply, water and drainage are frequently the real scope, and finding that out late is expensive.

Honest about what is not ours to answer

Fees, portal turnaround and slot availability belong to the Town. We will tell you exactly who to ask, and ask with you.

Financing available

Financing options are available — ask and we will explain what applies to your project.

Closed records at handover

A closed permit record and the documents to prove it, which is what a future buyer’s search will find.
