Inspections run mornings only
The Village states they are performed Monday through Friday from 8:00 am to 12 noon. A four-hour window, five days a week, is the whole capacity a project has to work with.
Tequesta · Palm Beach County
A four-hour window, claimed the day before.
Tequesta publishes its inspection arrangements in more detail than most municipalities its size, and the detail matters: on a small job the Village calendar, not the work, is usually what sets the finish date.
The Village states that inspections are performed Monday through Friday from 8:00 am to 12 noon, and that the cut off time for inspections is by 3 p.m. the day before the intended inspection day. So a trade that finishes at four o'clock has already missed the following morning. Work that is planned around that runs smoothly here; work that is not loses a day at a time.
The Village also offers remote inspections by video call - but for a named list only: roofs, windows and doors, water-heater changeouts, AC changeouts, and signs. It is worth reading that list for what is not on it. A kitchen or bathroom remodel is inspected in person, so the four-hour window applies to it in full.
Where a remote inspection does apply, the Village publishes how it runs: schedule it by the 3 p.m. cut-off choosing a timeframe, call 561-768-0450 between 8:00 and 8:30 a.m. on the day to confirm timing, and a text message with a video-call link arrives within it. The contractor needs a smartphone with a good camera and signal, and Location, Camera and Microphone permissions enabled - which is a real requirement, not a formality, and worth checking before the morning it matters.

What a Tequesta address changes
Six things the Village publishes about its own process.
The cut-off is 3 p.m. the day before
The Village states it plainly. Whether the work is ready by the end of the day is the wrong question here; whether it will be ready by tomorrow morning, decided by three o'clock today, is the right one.
Video inspections exist, for five named things
Roofs, windows and doors, water-heater changeouts, AC changeouts and signs. That is the published list. A kitchen or bathroom is not on it and is inspected in person.
A remote inspection has its own morning routine
Call 561-768-0450 between 8:00 and 8:30 a.m. on the day to confirm timing, then a text with a video-call link arrives within the timeframe. Miss that half hour and the arrangement does not work.
The phone has requirements too
The Village asks for a smartphone with a good camera and signal, and Location, Camera and Microphone permissions allowed or enabled. Worth testing before the inspection rather than during it.
Applications go through BS&A Online
With step-by-step permit application instructions and a contractor learning centre published alongside. It is a shared platform used by other municipalities on this coast as well, not a Tequesta-only system.
Inspected in person · 01
The work that needs somebody on site
A kitchen remodel. Not one of the five things the Village will inspect by video call.
1 / 8
What the photographs show
Neither of these is on the video-call list
The kitchen above is a full remodel: a wall taken out, an island built where it stood, a gas range and over-range extraction, a relocated sink under the window and a run of quartz through the whole plan. Several disciplines, several inspections, and every one of them with somebody on site inside a four-hour morning window.
The bathroom is the same in miniature. A recessed niche and a bench formed before they were tiled, a rain head and a slide rail set out on one elevation, a vessel basin on stone. The parts that get inspected are the ones that disappear behind the wave-textured porcelain.
Read the remote-inspection list for what is missing from it. That is where your programme actually lives.
That is why the Village's remote list is worth reading closely. Roofs, windows and doors, water heaters, AC changeouts and signs are all things an inspector can reasonably see through a phone. The rough-in behind a shower wall is not, and Tequesta has not pretended otherwise.
A note on the photographs. They are our own projects, and the record is deliberately thin: no address, no client, no contract value, no dates. We do not claim either is in Tequesta. They are here for a specific reason - a kitchen and a bathroom are exactly the sort of work the Village will NOT inspect by video call, which is the practical point of this page.
| Kitchen | White shaker joinery with bar handles and a quartz island |
|---|---|
| Kitchen services | Gas range with over-range extraction, integrated dishwasher, relocated undermount sink |
| Bathroom | Wave-textured large-format porcelain with a mosaic shower floor |
| Bathroom detail | Formed niche and bench, rain head and slide-rail hand shower, frameless glass |
| Sanitaryware | Hammered metal vessel basin on a figured stone top, backlit mirror |
| Not documented | Municipality, address, client, contract value, dates and area |
Described only from what these photographs show, together with the general requirements that govern work of this kind in Palm Beach County. Neither project is presented as being in Tequesta, and nothing here is a statement about either property beyond what the frames contain.
Detail
The Village clock, hour by hour
3 p.m., the day before
The cut-off
The Village states the cut off time for inspections is by 3 p.m. the day before the intended inspection day. Everything else on this page follows from that one sentence.
8 a.m. to noon
The window
Inspections are performed Monday through Friday from 8:00 am to 12 noon. Four hours, five days, and that is the capacity a programme has to fit inside.
The remote list
Five named types
Roofs, windows and doors, water-heater changeouts, AC changeouts and signs. Published, specific and short.
8:00-8:30 a.m.
The confirming call
For a remote inspection, ring 561-768-0450 in that half hour to confirm timing. Then the video-call link arrives by text.
The booking
Four things
Job address, permit number, inspection type and contact details - by portal, by email or by phone.

Working to the Village clock
Tequesta: booking, timing and who turns up
Most questions here come down to the calendar rather than the code. Each answer below is what the Village itself publishes, including the two statements about timing that we carry as it makes them rather than trying to reconcile.
The Village states that inspections are performed Monday through Friday from 8:00 am to 12 noon. It is a four-hour window, so on a small job the Village calendar often sets the finish date rather than the work itself.
The Village states that the cut off time for inspections is by 3 p.m. the day before the intended inspection day. In practice you are committing the afternoon before, which is why the sequencing on site has to be planned rather than improvised.
For some things. The Village offers remote inspections for a named list - roofs, windows and doors, water-heater changeouts, AC changeouts, and signs. If your inspection is not one of those, expect it in person.
The Village publishes the sequence: schedule it by the 3 p.m. cut-off choosing a timeframe, then call 561-768-0450 between 8:00 and 8:30 a.m. on the day to confirm timing, and a text message with a video-call link arrives within that timeframe.
Yes, and the Village is specific: a smartphone with a good camera and signal, and Location, Camera and Microphone permissions allowed or enabled. That is worth testing in advance rather than discovering at 8:15 in the morning.
The Village publishes both things: inspection hours of 8:00 am to 12 noon, and a remote-inspection booking step that asks you to choose a morning or afternoon timeframe. We carry both as the Village states them rather than guessing at how they fit together, and we confirm the timing for a specific inspection when we book it.
The job address, the permit number, the inspection type and contact details. Bookings can be made through the portal, by email to permits@tequesta.org, or by phone.
Through BS&A Online, which the Village supports with step-by-step permit application instructions and a contractor learning centre. The Building Department is at 345 Tequesta Drive, open 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM.
Opening protection is required and products need approval for the wind conditions here. Usefully, windows and doors are one of the five inspection types the Village will handle by video call, which can take some pressure off the morning window.
Yes. Permitting, structure, envelope and finishes sit under one licence, and that includes booking to the Village's cut-off and being on site inside the window.
We do not publish review durations or fee figures, because the Village sets both and they change. What we can control is that inspections are booked to a clock we have actually read.
Thanks — that came through.
Your details are with the Elbaz Construction team and we will come back to you, usually the same or next working day. If it is urgent, call (754) 236-0675.
And so is this · 02
A wet room is not on the video list either
The order of work
Ten stages, sequenced around a four-hour window
01
The address and the permit record
What was approved, what was closed out and what was neither.
02
Measured survey
The house as it stands, including every opening, because opening protection depends on them.
03
Scope and programme together
In a village with a four-hour inspection window, the build sequence is designed at the same time as the work, not afterwards.
04
Coordinate the disciplines on paper
Structural, plumbing, electrical and mechanical resolved against each other before filing.
05
File through BS&A Online
Using the Village's own step-by-step instructions, from the Building Department at 345 Tequesta Drive.
06
Answer plan review
Comments closed out and the package resubmitted.
07
Strip out and first fix
Demolition, then drainage, supply and power - the work that has to be seen before it is covered.
08
Book each inspection by 3 p.m. the day before
With the address, permit number, inspection type and contact details, and with the work genuinely ready rather than nearly ready.
09
Envelope, second fix and finishes
Approved glazing and doors - which the Village will inspect by video call - then joinery, stone and porcelain, brassware and lighting.
10
Final inspection and close-out
Inside the morning window, then close-out and the records handed over.
Which approvals and inspections a project needs is set by the property and the scope of work, and the Village decides it. We confirm the current requirements before filing. We do not publish fees or review durations, and we do not state that any particular inspection will be done remotely.
Planning around the window
Six questions about the calendar, not the code
Will the work genuinely be ready by tomorrow morning?
That is the question the 3 p.m. cut-off actually asks. Booking optimistically and failing an inspection costs more than waiting a day and passing it.
Is this inspection on the remote list?
Roofs, windows and doors, water heaters, AC changeouts, signs. If it is not one of those, plan for somebody to be on site inside the morning window.
Who is making the 8:00 a.m. call?
For a remote inspection the confirming call happens between 8:00 and 8:30 a.m. on the day. That needs to be a named person, not an assumption.
Does the phone have what the Village asks for?
Good camera, good signal, and Location, Camera and Microphone permissions enabled. Check it the week before.
Do you have the permit number to hand?
Bookings are made with the job address, permit number, inspection type and contact details, whether by portal, by email or by phone.
What does the permit record say about the house?
Earlier work that was never permitted or never closed out becomes your scope the moment you file, and it is far cheaper to find at the start.
What a specific project requires is set by the property and the scope of work. We confirm the Village's current requirements for the address before filing, and we do not publish fees, review durations, or a claim that any particular inspection can be carried out remotely - the published list is short and the Village applies it.
Budget
What moves a number in a village this size
01
Structural change
Taking out a wall to build an island is the item that most changes a figure on this kind of stock, and it sets the drawing and the inspection sequence with it.
Highest impact
02
How many trades the scope touches
Each discipline is another inspection to be claimed by 3 p.m. the day before. Complexity costs more per square foot than area does.
High impact
03
Programme and sequencing
A four-hour window, five days a week. Work sequenced to hit it costs less than the same work sequenced to miss it, and that is a real line rather than a rhetorical one.
High impact
04
Envelope and opening protection
Approved glazing and doors, plus the making-good a non-standard opening always needs.
Moderate impact
05
What the permit record turns up
Earlier work never permitted or never closed out is resolved as its own scope.
Moderate impact
06
Specification of finishes
Real, but the most controllable line in the budget and the last one that should be used to rescue a number.
Lower impact
These weights describe what tends to move a number on work of this kind in Tequesta, in the order it tends to move it. Sequencing sits higher here than it would elsewhere, because a four-hour inspection window booked the afternoon before punishes a programme that is not thought through - a missed inspection is not an hour lost, it is a day. None of these is a fee, a percentage or an estimate.
