Who can compel a local government to create a residential master building permit program?
Correct Answer
B) A general, building or residential contractor, in writing
Section 553.794(1): if a local building code administrator "receives a written request from a general, building, or residential contractor licensed under chapter 489 requesting the creation of a master building permit program, the applicable local government shall create such program within 6 months after receipt of the written request." One licensed contractor’s letter starts the clock.

Why the Other Options Are Wrong
Option A: Any owner of five or more lots
Lot ownership does not give the right to compel.
Option C: The local building official, at the department’s own initiative
The trigger is a contractor's written request.
Option D: The Florida Building Commission, by rule adopted for that county
The commission does not trigger it by rule.
