Common Rejection Reasons

8 documented for Wellington. Our AI flags all of these.

1Application must be signed by BOTH property owner AND contractor — missing either signature = rejection

2Insurance cert holder must read EXACTLY: 'Village of Wellington / 12300 Forest Hill Blvd / Wellington, FL 33414' — any variation rejected

3Contractor Registration Application MUST BE NOTARIZED — unsigned/unnotarized = rejected at registration

4Registration requires $5,000 surety bond payable to the municipality per Ordinance 1983-19

5NOC must be recorded AND posted before first inspection — NO subsequent inspections without certified copy — this is strictly enforced

6HVAC NOC threshold is $15,000 (NOT the standard $5,000) — contractors often file NOC unnecessarily for small AC changeouts

7Aggregate value = TOTAL COST of ALL improvements, not just the individual permit work — if total project across all permits ≥ $5,000, fee simple titleholder/bonding co/architect/mortgage lender info required

8ALL plans/docs must be PDF format — other formats cause issues in ProjectDox ePlans system
