Building & Permitting

City of Edgewood Permitting Process

All permitting and inspection services for the City of Edgewood are outsourced through an inter-local agreement with the Orange County Building Department. Prior to submittal to Orange County, all permits must be sent to the City of Edgewood for a preliminary review and approval. See below for a brief overview of our process. Detailed instructions will be found on each permit types main page and application. 

STEP 1-  Submission of all permit applications must be submitted to the City of Edgewood for a preliminary review and approval. Submittal of all applications and plans shall be electronic. Application fees, pass-through fees, and/or review fees are dependent upon the type of permit being applied for and whether a City Consultants review is required (Engineer, Planner, Landscape Architect, Attorney, etc). The City's review will be to confirm the application and plans follow City code requirements. Any Florida Building Code requirements will be part of the Orange County permitting and inspection process. 

STEP 2-  A City of Edgewood Staff member will perform a preliminary review of the permit application, making sure it is compliant with City Code requirements. Should a permit application require any City Consultants to review, then City Staff will reach out to the applicant to explain the next steps in the process, including payment, additional documents, etc. Once the City Consultants receive the application and plans, they will have 10 business days to respond with either an approval or comments for revision.

STEP 3- Once approval has been received, the application will then be stamped off and signed for zoning approval and emailed to the applicant. The applicant will then submit the zoning approved documents to the Orange County Building Department through their Fast Track System. The County will issue the actual permit and perform all required inspections. Please note that the City of Edgewood's Engineering Consultant may also perform a final inspection on some permits.
