Seminole County specifics

What matters for this in Seminole County

The Seminole County Building Division reviews unincorporated permits; Sanford, Lake Mary, Oviedo, Longwood and the other cities review their own.

East of the Econlockhatchee River, Seminole's voter-approved Rural Boundary keeps land in Rural-3, Rural-5 and Rural-10 future land use: one home per 3, 5 or 10 acres no matter how the zoning reads. The Wekiva River Protection Area adds its own limits on the west side.

100%OF OUR FEES, CREDITED

Every dollar you pay us comes back when we build.

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.

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
