City Offers Online Portal for Contractor Building Permits

The City of Lake Wales now has a Building Division Contractor online portal. This can be accessed through City Website on the Building Division Landing Page ( https://www.lakewalesfl.gov/241/Building-Division ) or direct by using the following link. http://secure.lakewalesfl.gov/permits/

The purpose of this is for Building Permits. The portal allows contractors registered with the City of Lake Wales Building Division to register for an online account to be able to view the status of their Building Permit Applications, as well as the status of their issued Building Permits, items such as conditions, approvals, inspection results, fees, completion dates, etc. Payments is not yet available although link appears on home screen of portal-but may be available in the future.

The contractors may schedule inspections for their permits directly through the portal without having to contact our office directly.

The public also can view active and completed permits by doing a general search without having an account log in. They can search by address or by permit number if they have the permit number available.

Property owners who obtain permits as owner builders do not qualify to get access to the Portal. The portal is limited to licensed Contractors only.

To gain access to the Portal, contractors may submit an access request form through a link accessible on the Building Division landing page.
