How to Apply for a Permit in Lauderdale Lakes

Apply online through the City of Lauderdale Lakes permit portal (OpenGov), which has separate applications for residential and commercial building permits, roofs, A/C change-outs, water heaters, fences, windows and doors and other common jobs. The city's Permitting Process page still says payments and drawings are handled in person, so call the Building Division at 954-535-2480 to confirm how to pay. New construction, additions and work that changes a building's exterior go through Planning and Zoning review first; re-roofs, interior renovations, interior plumbing or electrical repairs and A/C change-outs 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 from 8:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m.; schedule them through the city's Online Payments portal (selfservice.lauderdalelakes.org) by 3:30 p.m. for the next business day. The office is open Monday through Thursday and takes phone calls and emails, but no walk-ins, on Fridays.
