Permitting authorities

Who issues electrical permits
in Monroe County.

Monroe County Building and Permitting issues permits for unincorporated Monroe County, which includes Key Largo, Tavernier and Big Pine Key. The City of Key West issues permits inside its city limits and is collected as its own source. Marathon, Islamorada, Layton and Key Colony Beach issue their own permits, which are not in this feed. Neither source publishes a job value in its search results, so that field stays empty.
