Step by step
How to search permits in St. Johns 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 St. Augustine, which issues its own permits. Otherwise the permit belongs to St. Johns County Building Department.
Open the official permit search
Open St. Johns County Building E-Services permit status search. The county says it shows permits issued along with inspection history, holds, releases and certificate of occupancy status.
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 St. Johns County Building Department (904-827-6800) how to request it. Older permits are not always in online systems.
