Palm Beach County Permit Expediting
Palm Beach County stretches from barrier-island towns to large unincorporated suburbs and rural land in the west. A permit here may go to the county’s Planning, Zoning and Building Department through the ePZB portal, or to one of 39 municipal permit offices. Fast Pass Permits handles the submittal, the review comments and the follow-up in whichever office has your property.
The Palm Beach County Planning, Zoning and Building Department (PZB) Building Division Permit Center processes permit applications for construction in the unincorporated area of the county.
The Palm Beach County Property Appraiser lists 39 municipalities, each with its own permit office link. Among the larger ones are West Palm Beach, Boca Raton, Boynton Beach, Delray Beach, Jupiter, Palm Beach Gardens and Wellington. Smaller coastal towns such as Palm Beach, Manalapan and Highland Beach are on the list too, so a short drive can mean a different office, different forms and a different portal.
Before preparing a package, we confirm whether the property is in a city or unincorporated, using the parcel control number (PCN) and municipal boundary.
For unincorporated properties, Palm Beach County accepts permit applications online through ePZB, which the county describes as available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Applicants register an account, start a new permit request using the property address or PCN, upload documents in separate sets by category, and pay fees online once review is complete.
A few portal details matter more than they look:
Municipalities use their own systems. Delray Beach, for example, takes building submittals through its ePlans digital plan review system.
Building reviewers check code compliance, and Zoning reviewers check that the work fits the property’s zoning regulations, from setbacks to use.
Fire Rescue’s Plans and Construction branch reviews fire-related plans against the Florida Fire Prevention Code and Palm Beach County local amendments, and performs construction inspections. Permits themselves are issued by the local building department.
For properties on septic, the health department’s onsite sewage program must approve the septic plans before a building permit can be issued, and its final approval must be recorded before a certificate of occupancy.
Florida law requires the owner to record a Notice of Commencement with the clerk and post it on site before the first inspection. In ePZB, the recorded notice is uploaded as a supporting document.
Palm Beach County is not in the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, which applies to Miami-Dade and Broward. Wind and product approval requirements still apply under the Florida Building Code, and we confirm the approvals listed on your plans match what the reviewer expects.
Recertification rules in Miami-Dade and Broward come from county programs. In Palm Beach County, the key requirement for condominiums is Florida’s statewide milestone inspection law. Condominium and cooperative buildings with three or more habitable stories need a milestone inspection by December 31 of the year the building turns 30, then every 10 years. Local building officials may require it at 25 years based on local conditions such as proximity to salt water. Our recertification and milestone services help associations coordinate the process and any repair permits that follow.
Fast Pass Permits is not a contractor and does not hold a contractor license. We never pull permits under our own license. We prepare and submit applications as the authorized agent of the licensed contractor or owner-builder, then manage the file until the work is inspected.
We also arrange signed and sealed drawings through licensed partners and can refer licensed contractors. Services include residential, commercial, over-the-counter and special permits. For the rest of the state, see Florida permit expediting.
Palm Beach County has 39 municipalities, each with its own permit office, plus unincorporated Palm Beach County, which is permitted by the county through ePZB. We handle permits in all of them, including:
ePZB is Palm Beach County’s online portal for Planning, Zoning and Building applications. For unincorporated properties, it is used to apply for building permits, upload documents, respond to comments, pay fees and schedule inspections.
The first review is done by Building, Fire and Zoning reviewers. Other reviewers, such as Health, may also comment depending on the project.
No. Under the Florida Building Code, the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone covers Miami-Dade and Broward. Palm Beach County projects still must meet the Florida Building Code’s wind and product approval requirements.
The Florida Department of Health in Palm Beach County reviews septic system plans, and that approval is required before a building permit can be issued for new systems.
Yes. We work with municipal building departments across the county, using each city’s own forms and portal.
