How to Apply for a Permit in Indian River Shores

Indian River Shores runs its own Building Department, so permits are filed with the Town rather than Indian River County. The Town is moving to the MyGovernmentOnline (MGO Connect) portal, with a tentative go-live of September 28, 2026: from then on you create an account at mgoconnect.org to submit new applications, upload plans and pay fees online. Permits opened earlier close out in the Town's previous iWorQ portal. The full permit fee and the 2.5% state surcharge are due when you apply, applications are not accepted without payment, and inspections are requested through the portal and billed at $120 each. For help, call (772) 231-4453 or email inspections@indianrivershores.gov.
