How to Apply for a Permit in Lake Hamilton

Lake Hamilton's Community Development Department handles permitting; the town asks applicants who have not heard back within three days to call and ask for Shawna. Apply online through the town's iWorQ Citizen Portal, which handles application submission and document upload; large plans and new construction go through the permitting department instead. Alternatively, download the Building Permit Application PDF, complete it, and email it with the supporting documents (signed and notarized application, Notice of Commencement if required, engineered plans, site plan, and Florida product approval sheets). Contractors register first with their state license, county business tax receipt, certificate of liability naming the Town, and workers compensation proof; registration is free. Inspections are requested through the Building Inspection Request form on the town website.
