How to Apply for a Permit in Lauderdale Lakes

You can apply for a building permit online through the City of Lauderdale Lakes Online Services Portal, where you can apply, pay and track permits. The city's building pages still mention in-person payment and the Broward County ePermits OneStop system, so call the Building Division at 954-535-2480 if you are not sure which route your project uses. Work that changes a building's exterior, new construction and additions go through Planning and Zoning review first. Re-roofs, interior renovations, interior plumbing or electrical repairs and A/C change-outs can go straight to the Building Division. Plans examiners take walk-in questions from construction professionals on Wednesdays from 8:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. Inspections run between 8:00 a.m. and 12:00 p.m., and requests made by 3:30 p.m. are scheduled for the next business day. Schedule them online or by calling the Building Division. The office is closed to walk-ins on Fridays but still answers phone calls and emails.
