Hello,

I’m Maria Rossiter

I’ve spent the last 6+ years working in construction permitting across South Florida, navigating more than 58 jurisdictions from Miami-Dade to Palm Beach.

During that time, I’ve worked on everything from residential renovations to large commercial projects, handling permits for fire alarms, fire sprinklers, electrical, and mechanical systems.

Along the way, I kept seeing the same problem over and over: homeowners confused by the process, contractors losing time and money on stuck permits, and very few people explaining how the system actually works.

So I built NextPermit. It’s a free resource where I break down the permit process and share what I’ve learned working inside it.

I also wrote a step-by-step Florida permit guide available on Amazon for anyone who wants the full picture in one place.

If you’re dealing with a permit situation, feel free to ask here. I’ll do my best to help.
