County permit search

Pinellas permit search: the county Access Portal and its many cities

Official portal: Pinellas County Access Portal.

Updated

Pinellas County permits are searched in the county's Access Portal on Accela, under Build, then Search Permits, and unregistered visitors can view records. Before you search, check the city. Pinellas has more cities than most Florida counties, and St. Petersburg, Clearwater, Largo and others issue their own permits.

How to search Pinellas County building permits

In Pinellas, check the city first. St. Petersburg, Clearwater and Largo issue their own permits.

  1. In the Access Portal, open the Build tab and choose Search Permits.

  2. Enter a permit number, an address or a contractor license, and set how far back to search.

  3. Status and inspections are inside each record. You only need an account to apply, pay or schedule.

  4. Not finding it? The address may be permitted by its city. Plenty of Pinellas addresses are.

Pinellas is the most densely populated county in Florida, and its permit map is just as crowded. The county desk handles unincorporated areas like Palm Harbor, East Lake and Lealman. St. Petersburg and Clearwater are the two busiest city offices in our record.

St. Petersburg runs its own Click2Gov site, and its page counts only the city's permits: St. Petersburg building permits.
