Pinellas County Building and Development Review Services Department is proud to announce that the long awaited Online Permitting and Inspection module is available. You must be a registered user to to be able to apply for permits and schedule inspections.

After you register and prior to applying for your first online permit or scheduling an inspection online, I would suggest that you print out and review the two instructions I have put together. These two different instructions or guides will help you become familiar with the two functions. The first is Online permitting Instructions and the second is Online Inspection Instructions .

Registration is only available to properly licensed contractors. To apply for your registration please follow the steps below:

Registration is a two step process. Please complete both steps below.

Step 1 of 2: (This step/process establishes your e-mail and password on the host server.)

• Go to the Pinellas County Online Permit screen.
• scroll down to Apply for a Building Permit. Select this link.
• Now under the login section, you will see a link for first time users titled Register here, select this link.
• Fill out the online form and submit it.
• Once you receive your e-mail confirmation from Velocity Hall please complete step two.

Step 2 of 2 (This will complete the registration process, and establish you with our server.)

• Select the next link for Online Registration .
• Print out the form and fill out the required information using the same e-mail address provided in step 1, then mail it to the address listed on the form, or simply fax it to the number provided.

Once your registration is completed and you receive confirmation from our department you may access the online Permitting at Online Permit Manager .

This new feature will allow you to apply for a simple permit such as water heater replacement, electrical service change, A/C changeout, re-roof and many more. It will also give you the ability to schedule your inspections, leave a message for the field inspector that is needed for that inspection, such as phone number that is to be used to notify you when the inspector will be arriving at the job, or anything else that you feel the inspector may need. You will also be able to view any comments that the inspector may note at the time of the inspection.

NOTICE; THERE WILL BE NO REFUNDS FOR ONLINE PERMITS THAT WERE APPLIED FOR IN ERROR.

This system is not available to only contractors, it will give everyone the ability to lookup specific addresses within our jurisdiction for the complete history on that particular property as far as all permitting history or any possible violation against the property.
