Florida building departments
This Florida directory covers 67 Census county equivalents and local building-department guides. The Florida Building Code is statewide, while cities and counties handle applications, plan review, inspections, and local flood or zoning requirements.
How permitting works in Florida
Statewide code with local enforcement. A county name is a geographic index, not a promise that the county government issues every building permit. Many projects are handled by a city, town, township, borough, parish, regional office, or independent city.
