Steps

  1. 1

    Resolve city versus unincorporated boundary

    Postal city is not jurisdiction. StartFL uses the current production situs service with the hosted municipal boundary and fails closed on conflicting identities.

  2. 2

    Unincorporated County building permit path

    Use current PZB checklist and ePZB instructions. Current public County tracking uses reCAPTCHA; use the exact PCN in ePZB guest tracking.

  3. 3

    Municipal address

    Use the resolved municipality’s published permit office and filing path. West Palm Beach and Palm Beach Gardens have exact address live public permit searches.
