Step by step
How to search permits in Madison 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 Madison, which issues its own permits. Otherwise the permit belongs to Madison County Building Department.
Open the official permit search
Open Madison County online permit application (Cloudpermit), which runs on Cloudpermit. The county's Permit Applications page has an 'Online Permit Application' button that opens Cloudpermit. Printable PDF applications are also offered.
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 Madison County Building Department (850-973-3179) how to request it. Older permits are not always in online systems.
