Chapter 01 — What Medley publishes instead of a checklist
A timetable, not a list.
Open Monday to Thursday, and a day per discipline
Most municipal building pages publish requirements. Medley publishes a schedule, and on a renovation the schedule turns out to be the thing that matters. The Building and Zoning Department’s own page gives its hours as Monday to Wednesday 7:00 am to 5:00 pm, Thursday 7:00 am to 4:30 pm, and Fridays closed.
Then it does something genuinely unusual: it names the inspection days by trade. Building is listed Tuesday to Thursday. Roofing, Tuesday and Thursday. Electrical, Tuesday and Wednesday. Plumbing, Tuesday and Thursday. Mechanical, Tuesday and Thursday. Requests are to be made twenty-four hours in advance.
Read that table against a real renovation and the consequence is immediate. A kitchen that touches electrical, plumbing and mechanical has three disciplines whose available days overlap on exactly one day of the week. Sequencing them is not a matter of persuading anyone; it is a matter of arithmetic that anyone can do from the Town’s own page before signing a contract.
It also means a failed inspection is expensive in a way it is not everywhere else. Where a discipline is inspected twice a week and the counter is shut on Friday, a re-call is rarely a one-day delay. That is the single strongest reason to call an inspection only when the work will genuinely pass.

Four days, not five
The department publishes hours of Monday to Wednesday 7:00 am to 5:00 pm, Thursday 7:00 am to 4:30 pm, and Fridays closed. Anything that needs the counter needs it inside those four days.
Each discipline has named days
Building Tuesday to Thursday; Roofing Tuesday and Thursday; Electrical Tuesday and Wednesday; Plumbing Tuesday and Thursday; Mechanical Tuesday and Thursday. Twenty-four hours’ notice is required. No trade is listed for Monday.
Florida Building Code, 8th Edition (2023)
The department states the jurisdiction is on the Florida Building Code 8th edition (2023), effective 31 December 2023, and that it enforces the State-mandated Uniform Building, Plumbing, Mechanical, Fire and National Electrical Codes.
