Step by step
How to search permits in Brevard County.
Start with the office for the property's address. The official portal shows the permit's current status, inspections and documents.
Find the permitting authority
Check whether the address is inside Titusville, Cocoa, Rockledge or West Melbourne, which issue their own permits. Otherwise the permit belongs to Brevard County Planning and Development.
Open the official permit search
Open Brevard's Advance Service Site (BASS) building permit search, which runs on Accela Citizen Access. Search building permits without logging in by property appraiser account number, application number, contractor license or name, or street address and date range; registered users log in to pay fees and manage records.
Search by address or permit number
Search with the street address or the permit number where the portal offers those fields, then open the record for its status, inspections and documents.
Ask the office about older records
If a permit is missing online, ask Brevard County Planning and Development (321-633-2187) how to request it. Older permits are not always in online systems.
