Step by step

How to search permits in Lake County.

Start with the office for the property's address. The official portal shows the permit's current status, inspections and documents.

Lake County OPRS building permits

  1. Find the permitting authority

    Check whether the address is inside Clermont, Leesburg, Mount Dora, Eustis or Tavares, which issue their own permits. Otherwise the permit belongs to Lake County Office of Building Services.

  2. Open the official permit search

    Open Lake County OPRS building permits, which runs on OPRS. The county's online building permit system, linked from Building Services for applying for and accessing permits; a user guide and tutorial are linked on the landing page.

  3. 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.

  4. Ask the office about older records

    If a permit is missing online, ask Lake County Office of Building Services (352-343-9653 ext. 5) how to request it. Older permits are not always in online systems.
