Step by step
How to search permits in Winter Haven.
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 Winter Haven issues permits only inside its city limits. A Winter Haven mailing address can lie outside them, where Polk County Building Division issues the permit.
Open the city's permit portal

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 Winter Haven city limits, use Polk County Access Portal (Accela Citizen Access), or contact Polk County Building Division (863-534-6080).
