Marion County building permits: searching Civic Access
Official portal: Marion County Civic Access.
Updated
Marion County, Florida building permits go through Civic Access, the county's self-service permit portal for Building Safety permits, address inquiries and property searches. Ocala, Belleview, Dunnellon, McIntosh and Reddick are separate municipalities. The City of Ocala runs its own building department, so an address inside Ocala isn't the county's permit.
Marion County permit search, step by step
Marion County permits are in Civic Access. City of Ocala permits come from the city.
Open Civic Access and use Search in the top menu to find a permit or an address.
Building Safety permits, address inquiries and property and lien searches all come with guided help.
Log in or register to apply, upload documents or pay. Hold your uploads until you're ready to submit: a permit that's saved but not submitted loses them.
At checkout, the ZIP code has to match your card's billing ZIP. If it doesn't, the payment is declined.
