governmental entity to construct, erect, alter, modify, repair, or demolish
any building within this state without first obtaining a permit therefor from
the appropriate enforcing agency or from such persons as may, by appropriate
resolution or regulation of the authorized state or local enforcing agency, be
delegated authority to issue such permits, upon the payment of such reasonable
fees adopted by the enforcing agency. The enforcing agency is empowered to
revoke any such permit upon a determination by the agency that the
construction, erection, alteration, modification, repair, or demolition of the
building for which the permit was issued is in violation of, or not in
conformity with, the provisions of the Florida Building Code. Installation,
replacement, removal, or metering of any load management control device is
