How to Use This Directory
Step 1: Determine your jurisdiction. If your property is within the limits of an incorporated city or town, you must apply for permits from the municipal building department. If your property is in an unincorporated area, apply to the county building department.
Step 2: Check permit requirements. Each building department page in this directory includes specific permit requirements for residential remodels, new construction, change of occupancy, life safety, and zoning. Review these requirements before starting your project.
Step 3: Prepare your permit package. Florida law requires that construction documents for most structural work be prepared and sealed by a Florida-licensed professional engineer (PE) or architect (AR). Pineland Engineering (PE 39202 · AR102594) prepares complete permit packages for projects throughout Florida.
Step 4: Submit and track your permit. Most Florida building departments now offer online permit portals for application submission and status tracking. Links to online portals are included on each department page where available.
