Step by step

How to search permits in Orange County.

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

Orange County Fast Track building permit search

  1. Find the permitting authority

    Check whether the address is inside Orlando, Apopka, Winter Garden, Ocoee or Winter Park, which issue their own permits. Otherwise the permit belongs to Orange County Division of Building Safety (Permitting Services).

  2. Open the official permit search

    Open Orange County Fast Track building permit search. Search building permits by address, permit number or issue-date range (CAPTCHA required); Fast Track accounts are used to apply and manage permits.

  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 Orange County Division of Building Safety (Permitting Services) (407-836-5550) how to request it. Older permits are not always in online systems.

  • The Fast Track building permit search works by address, permit number or issue-date range, but a date range can span at most 6 months.

    fasttrack.ocfl.net

  • Permits issued before June 4, 2012 are in a separate Historical Permit Search that looks up by address or parcel ID and returns at most 1,000 records.
