Inside Clearwater city limits, the City is the building and zoning authority and uses its ePermit system for permit applications, inspections, planning cases, and record research. Building work generally requires the applicable City permit and plan review, while zoning or Future Land Use changes and requests for flexibility follow separate planning review. Do not apply unincorporated Pinellas dimensional rules to a Clearwater parcel. Use the City's Zoning Map to find current zoning and Future Land Use designations; use ePermit to research building permits and planning cases by address.
