About Our Founder

Tim began his career as a permit runner, traveling across Florida to pull permits in person before the digital age transformed the process. His firsthand experience in the trenches gave him a deep understanding of what contractors face—and how to navigate the system to avoid delays. Over the years, he rose through the ranks to manage multiple offices for one of the largest permitting companies in the country before launching Alpha Permitting to provide more personalized service.“I started at the bottom, running permits myself. That experience taught me every detail of the process—and how to get things done right the first time.” – Tim O’Malley

“Contractors have enough on their plate. I’m here to take the stress of permits off their shoulders so they can focus on building.” – Tim O’Malley
When Tim isn’t navigating Florida’s permit system, he’s spending time with his family or serving in his local community. His faith and family values are at the heart of how he runs Alpha Permitting: with integrity, dedication, and a commitment to helping others succeed.
After decades in the industry, Tim saw too many contractors frustrated with permit delays, confusing regulations, and poor communication from other providers. He started Alpha Permitting to offer something different:
- ✅ Not all expediters are created equal. Many take on too many clients and put your job on the back burner. We don’t. Your project stays top priority.
- ✅ We follow up daily—so your permit doesn’t sit forgotten in someone’s inbox.
- ✅ 22+ years of proven results: Our experience and dedication set us apart. We don’t just submit forms—we manage the entire process to avoid surprises.
“Other companies let my permits sit for weeks. Alpha got it done in days.” – Commercial Builder
