Building permits inside Lake Buena Vista are issued by the Central Florida Tourism Oversight District, the successor to the Reedy Creek Improvement District, which serves as the building official for both Bay Lake and Lake Buena Vista under one fee schedule. All permit applications are submitted electronically through the district's Accela Citizen Access portal at permitting.oversightdistrict.org; there is no in person or mail in path. Before applying, your contractor must be registered with the district's Building and Safety Department: registration documents are emailed to Permitting@oversightdistrict.org and include the state contractor certification, a Florida county business tax receipt, proof of workers compensation insurance of $1,000,000 naming the district, a notarized contractor registration form, and a notarized power of attorney or agent form naming everyone authorized to apply for and receive permits. Through the portal you complete the application, upload plans as PDFs, pay fees, track review, schedule inspections, and request certificates of occupancy. Drawings must be digitally signed and sealed when the valuation is $25,000 or more, and the owner signs when the value exceeds $2,500. A recorded Notice of Commencement is required over $5,000, or over $15,000 for heating and air conditioning replacement, uploaded before the first inspection. Fees are due when the application passes sufficiency review; the district accepts credit cards, cash, checks, and money orders, and all fees are non refundable. Inspections are scheduled through the portal or the automated line at (407) 828-4466; normal inspection hours are 6:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., Monday through Friday.
