How to look up a building permit in Florida

Pick the city where the property sits — permits are filed with the local building department, not the state. Use the table above for any of the 31 Florida cities we cover.
Search by address or contractor. Each city page lists recent permits with the address, permit type, declared value, status and (where the city publishes it) the contractor of record.
Click any record to expand the full details — project description, property owner, contact info, and related permit history at that address.

PermitGrab refreshes Florida permit data daily from official municipal feeds. If your city isn't listed, the building department may not publish a public data feed yet.

Contractors: turn these permits into leads.

Get every new permit in your Florida cities each morning — with contractor phones, owner names and project values. 14-day free trial.
