Step by step
How to search permits in Venice.
Start with the office for the property's address. The official source shows the permit's current status, inspections and documents.
Confirm the address is inside city limits
The City of Venice issues permits only inside its city limits. A Venice mailing address can lie outside them, where Sarasota County Planning and Development Services issues the permit.
Open the city's permit portal
Open the Venice permit portal (eTRAKiT). City of Venice Online Services (eTRAKiT) for city permits.
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. Some portals ask you to sign in before they show records.
Use the county search outside city limits
For a property outside Venice city limits, use Sarasota County Accela Citizen Access (online permitting) (Accela Citizen Access), or contact Sarasota County Planning and Development Services (941-861-5000).
