Improved online permitting for local contractors begins October 7

Sarasota, County, Florida -- Beginning Oct. 7, local contractors will be able to save time and money by applying for building permits through Sarasota County Planning and Development Services Department updated online system at www.building.scgov.net. Current registered users will have full access to the new site; however contractor agents will need to create a new, one-time only free registration.

By cutting down the time it takes to apply for and receive a building permit, we are helping contractors grow their business and create jobs.
