Use the official permit and inspection portal
Open JaxEPICS for the City online permit/inspection destination. Online (electronic) permit submission is required for all permit types, and a JaxEPICS account is required to submit. StartFL has not verified a live exact-property integration; verify any filing or record directly with the City.
