Step by step
How to search permits in Jackson 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 Marianna, which issues its own permits. Otherwise the permit belongs to Jackson County Community Development, Building Services.
Open the official permit search
Open Jackson County Building Services online portal, which runs on iWorQ. Submit a building permit application and check permit status by permit number, date or type (two searches: 7/25/2011-9/30/2019 and 10/1/2019-current).
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 Jackson County Community Development, Building Services (850-482-9805) how to request it. Older permits are not always in online systems.
