The new collection adds 80 previously unidentified permits with certificates: 79 dated after October 8, plus the newly discovered October 7 certificate. The previously known October 8 certificate remains included, and its original file matches the earlier archive exactly.

The latest certificate found is dated October 30, for 1414 Binyamina Place, permit 2600364. Every certificate states one building and one unit. The register counts distinct permits, preserving both document versions where supplied; it does not count actual residents or completed homebuyer transactions. Dated register and original sources.

The October 7 certificate#

The certificate for 1833 Rashi Drive describes an Emerald 3 Story residence. Its original page visibly gives October 7, 2026, permit 2500272, the address and one residential unit. The visible Building Official signature appearance also carries October 7. This is a review of the document’s contents, not cryptographic authentication of the signature.

The separately saved county permit page identifies Block 6, Lot 17. Its completion field and the certificate date are separate observations. The certificate’s date does not reveal when the county uploaded it or when anyone moved in. “Earliest reviewed” describes this defined collection, not a certified countywide first issuance.

The recorded buyer’s home also has a CO#

1464 Alfasi Drive, permit 2600347, has a certificate dated October 16. Its November 1 county permit parcel is Block 6, Lot 2, matching the individual buyer deed recorded October 2. The prior statement that no CO had been established for this home is corrected. Certificate and permit links · Correction.

That adds occupancy-approval evidence for the already recorded transaction. It does not add another closing or establish a move-in date. No additional homebuyer closing was confirmed. The reported fresh Official Records check on November 1 timed out, so newer recordings remain unverified. The closing ledger retains its separate county-index coverage date.

Scope of the completed check#

The supplied official iWorQ check used Owner: Okeechobee Comm, without date filters. It covered all 21 result pages, 303 unique permits and all 303 permit-detail pages, with no final failed detail reads. That is 78 more permits present than in the 225-record October 8 baseline; none of the baseline permits disappeared. Newly present permits are not automatically new home starts.

All 82 identified original PDFs were preserved and validated as one-page documents. Certificate dates, permit numbers, addresses and unit counts were checked against the originals, including visual review of the image-only October 7 certificate body. The permit register retains its dated October 8 inspection histories with separately identified November 1 CO and parcel observations.

Related OCD and Lakefront owner searches encountered a verification-service connection warning and were not completed. They are not zero-result searches. This check is complete for the stated owner query; it is not an official issuance log or a guarantee that every possible project owner or address has been searched.

The October 8 certificate for 1964 Rashi Drive, permit 2500259, remains evidence within this collection. Its earlier digital-signature correction also remains in place. October 8 county certificate.
