Planning Instructions, Worksheets, & Checklists

Manatee County created the Development Review Manual with the goal of providing a streamlined process of submitting planning applications. Part I of the Manual was published in January 2020 after Board review and outlines the development review process. Part II was completed in October 2020, and provides detailed instructions of the requirements of each type of planning application. Below is a broken down guide to assist you in collecting all required documents prior to submitting your application in Accela. Note that these are fillable forms, and you can paste into the fields by using Ctrl + v on your keyboard.

Private Provider

If you are a contractor using the same private provider for all of your inspections,  it may be beneficial for you to make the private provider a delegate on your account. This allows the private provider to access all of your records. 

Deferred Documents Instructions

To streamline the review process, Development Services will now require all customers to upload their deferred documents through their Online Services account. 

The customer will no longer be required to email these documents for zoning and building reviews. Once the deferred documents are uploaded into the appropriate document type, the appropriate reviewers will then be notified. Vendors that send documents directly to Development Services will need to create an Online Services User account and will need to be designated as a delegate on the record. This will give them access to upload into the records.  

The following is the list of documents:
  • Duct Leakage Test Report
  • Envelope Leakage Test Report
  • Termite Treatment Certificate
  • Engineer’s Letter/Affidavit
  • Green Building Certificate
  • Spray Foam Insulation Certificate
  • Shielding Inspection Letter
  • Shop Drawings – All
  • Structural Steel Certification
  • Threshold inspections engineer affidavit letter
  • Tilt up concrete panel certificate
  • Spot Survey
  • Final Survey 
  • Truss Package
  • Void Letter
  • Unaltered Boundary Survey
  • Easement Encroachment form
  • Insulation Certificate
  • Duct Inspection Certificate
  • Boundary Survey
  • Under Construction Elevation Certificate
  • Private Provider Inspection Comp Report
  • Serialized Floor Plan
