How to Use the Permit Search Tool

Simply enter the property address or permit number to access available records. You’ll find details about each permit, including project type, status, and completion dates.

When Do You Need a Permit?

In Daytona Beach, building permits are generally required for projects like:

  • Structural changes (e.g., room additions, roof replacements)
  • Electrical, plumbing, and HVAC installations or modifications
  • Major renovations and remodels
  • Fences, decks, pools, and other outdoor structures

Smaller projects, such as cosmetic updates or minor repairs, may not require permits, but it’s always a good idea to check.

Benefits of Compliance

Having the necessary permits ensures that your project is completed safely and legally, protecting property value and avoiding potential fines. Properly permitted work also helps when it comes time to sell, as buyers can feel confident about the quality and compliance of the property’s improvements.
