Permitting/E-Services and Inspections

iWorQ systems, a web based program allows citizens to submit and receive permits and plans through our system, reducing the paper, fuel, and time associated with permitting.

If you are searching for record information or paying fees, you are not required to create an account.

1. To submit your application, click on the REQUEST PORTAL.
2.  Citizens can create a login through the request portal but it is not required.
3. Once logged in, click on “enter request”. Complete the appropriate fields, upload drawings and hit submit. Once staff approves the request, you will receive an email from the permitting department with the permit number.
4. When ready to check the status of your application/permit or print the permit board and approved drawings click on PERMIT PORTAL.
5. When ready to check the status of your zoning or development services application, and/or print approved documents you enter the PROJECT PORTAL.
   
   To schedule Inspections online or over the phone, an access code is required. Once you obtain your access code you may use that for all future permits. The access code should be obtained by the contractor or owner from the Permitting Department at the time of pick up or by calling 239-765-0202. Schedule inspections online or call 888-991-5867.
