County permit search

Seminole County building permits: county portal or city office?

Official portal: Seminole County Citizen Portal.

Updated

Seminole County building permits are in the county's Accela portal, under Building, then Search Applications, and searching is one of the limited services anonymous users get. But Seminole is heavily incorporated. Sanford, Altamonte Springs, Casselberry, Lake Mary, Longwood, Oviedo and Winter Springs all issue their own permits, so check the address first.

Seminole County permit search, step by step

Seven Seminole County cities, including Sanford and Lake Mary, issue their own building permits.

  1. Open the Seminole portal, then the Building tab, then Search Applications.

  2. Search with the application or permit number, the site address, or the license of the contractor who pulled it.

  3. Filing a complaint doesn't need a login: scroll to Enforcement and pick Create a Complaint. Addressing applications start under Planning once you've logged in.

  4. Address in one of the seven cities? Search that city's system instead.

Seminole is one of the most incorporated counties in Central Florida. Seven cities hold much of the population, so the county desk files fewer permits than you'd guess from the county's size. Unincorporated Seminole includes Fern Park, Chuluota, Geneva and parts of the Wekiva area.
