How to Apply for a Permit in Oakland

The Town of Oakland contracts its building and permitting services to Willdan Engineering, Inc.

All building permit applications are submitted electronically: email the completed Oakland Building Permit Application (one form covers all work types) with your plans and supporting documents to oaklandfl@willdan.com. Contractors must also file a Contractor Registration Form. Owner builders sign the Owner-Builder Affidavit in front of Town staff at Town Hall during business hours, then email the notarized document to Willdan. Fees are paid to the Town of Oakland, not Willdan: by card over the phone at 407-656-1117 or in person at 230 North Tubb Street (card processing fee applies), or by check to P.O. Box 98, Oakland, FL 34760. Some projects generate separate invoices payable to the City of Winter Garden, the City of Clermont, or Orange County Public Schools. To schedule an inspection, email Oaklandinspections@Willdan.com with the permit number, site address, inspection type, and the day and time requested. Oakland enforces the 8th Edition (2023) Florida Building Code.
