Step by step
How to search permits in Santa Rosa 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
Santa Rosa County Development Services issues building permits for unincorporated Santa Rosa County. Confirm the address is in Santa Rosa County before you search.
Open the official permit search
Open Santa Rosa County My Government Online (MGO) portal, which runs on MyGovernmentOnline. Permit and Planning & Zoning applications go through MGO, which the county calls its new permitting software; contractors register there too.
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 Santa Rosa County Development Services (850-981-7000) how to request it. Older permits are not always in online systems.
