How to Apply for a Permit in Winter Springs

Winter Springs issues building, electrical, mechanical, plumbing and roofing permits through the Community Development Department's Building Services Division. Most applicants apply online through the city's Civic Access portal, which is used to submit applications, upload plans, track review status and pay fees. A paper Building Permit Application is also available, and it must be signed in the presence of a notary. Paper applications and supporting documents can be submitted in person at City Hall, 1126 East State Road 434, or by email to customerservice@winterspringsfl.org.

Separate permits are required for electrical, plumbing, sign, pool, furnace, boiler, heater, tank and air conditioning work, so a project may need more than one permit application.

Inspections are requested through the city's Online Inspection Requests form, which asks for the permit number, the property address, the type of inspection and the date needed. Inspections can generally be scheduled as early as the next business day, and inspection results can be looked up through the Civic Access portal. You can also reach the Building Division by phone at 407-327-5963 to schedule or ask about an inspection.

Applicants may use a registered private provider for plan review, inspections, or both, under section 553.791, Florida Statutes. The city's private provider guidelines state that permit fees are reduced when a private provider is used, but the guidelines do not print the amount of the reduction, so confirm the reduced figure with the Building Division.
