Effective Date: March 19, 2026 | Last Updated: March 26, 2026
These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of the Florida Permit platform (“Service”), operated by Florida Permit LLC, a Florida limited liability company (“Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”). By creating an account or using the Service, you (“User,” “you,” or “your”) agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.
Florida Permit is a permit tracking dashboard for licensed Florida contractors. The Service connects to public-facing municipal building permit portals to retrieve permit statuses, inspection results, and related data on your behalf. Florida Permit provides permit tracking coverage across Florida jurisdictions and municipalities. Coverage expands continuously as new cities and counties are added to the platform. Not all cities, counties, municipalities, or permit portals are currently supported. Coverage availability is subject to change. Users will be notified of any coverage changes affecting their active permits. A current list of supported jurisdictions is maintained at floridapermit.org/#cities.
You must provide accurate information during registration, including a valid Florida contractor license number. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and for all activity under your account. You must notify us immediately of any unauthorized access at support@floridapermit.org.
This is a critical section. Please read it carefully.
To provide the Service, we require your login credentials for one or more municipal building permit portals (“Portal Credentials”). By submitting Portal Credentials through the Service, you expressly authorize Florida Permit LLC to:
You represent and warrant that:
You may revoke this authorization at any time by removing your Portal Credentials from the Credentials Vault in your account settings. Upon removal, we will delete the encrypted credentials from our systems and cease automated access to the associated portal.
The Service offers the following subscription plans: Free ($0/month), Standard ($39/month), Professional ($79/month), and Enterprise ($399/month). All plans include a 7-day free trial. No credit card is required during the free trial period.
Paid subscriptions are billed monthly in advance through our payment processor, Stripe, Inc. By subscribing, you authorize us to charge your payment method on a recurring monthly basis until you cancel. All fees are quoted in U.S. dollars.
If Florida Permit does not function as described for your jurisdiction, you may request a refund within 30 days of your first paid billing date. Refunds are limited to one month of service. No refunds will be issued for subsequent billing periods. To request a refund, contact support@floridapermit.org.
You may cancel your subscription at any time through your account settings. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period. No partial refunds are issued for unused days within a billing period.
We may change subscription pricing with 30 days’ written notice (via email to your registered address). Continued use of the Service after the effective date constitutes acceptance of the new pricing.
The Service is not a substitute for direct verification of permit information through municipal portals. You acknowledge and agree that:
The Service depends entirely on the availability and accessibility of third-party municipal building permit portals operated by city and county governments. These portals are not operated, maintained, or controlled by Florida Permit LLC. Municipal portals may, at any time and without notice to us or to you:
If a municipal portal blocks or restricts access by our systems, features related to that jurisdiction — including permit status tracking, inspection alerts, and data synchronization — may become partially or fully unavailable without notice. We will make commercially reasonable efforts to restore access, but we cannot guarantee restoration on any timeline or at all.
Florida Permit LLC does not offer a service level agreement (SLA). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing:
The Service aggregates and displays data as it appears on municipal permit portals at the time of retrieval. We do not independently verify, audit, or validate the accuracy of data obtained from these portals. Florida Permit LLC is not responsible for errors, omissions, delays, or discrepancies in portal data, including but not limited to incorrect inspection results, missing fee information, outdated permit statuses, or incomplete records. Always verify critical information directly with the issuing municipality before relying on it for scheduling, compliance, or financial decisions.
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW:
You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Florida Permit LLC, its officers, members, employees, agents, and affiliates from and against any and all claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of or related to:
You agree not to:
The Service, including its design, code, data aggregation methods, and branding, is the property of Florida Permit LLC. You retain ownership of data you input (including Portal Credentials). We claim no ownership of permit data retrieved from municipal portals, which remains public record.
These Terms remain in effect as long as you maintain an account. We may suspend or terminate your account at any time for violation of these Terms, with or without notice. Upon termination, your stored Portal Credentials will be permanently deleted. Sections 6 (Limitation of Liability), 7 (Indemnification), 9 (Intellectual Property), and 12 (Governing Law) survive termination.
We may modify these Terms at any time by posting updated Terms on this page and updating the “Last Updated” date. Material changes will be communicated via email to your registered address at least 14 days in advance. Continued use after the effective date constitutes acceptance.
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Florida, without regard to conflict of law principles. Any disputes arising under these Terms shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in Hillsborough County, Florida. You consent to personal jurisdiction in these courts.
If any provision of these Terms is held unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect.

When you register, we collect your name, email address, company name, Florida contractor license number, and a password you create. Your password is hashed using bcrypt and is never stored in plaintext.
If you choose to connect a municipal building permit portal, we collect the username and password for that portal. Portal Credentials are encrypted at rest using AES-256-GCM encryption. The encryption key is stored separately from the credential data and is not included in application backups. Portal Credentials are decrypted only at the moment of automated portal access and are held in server memory only for the duration of the scraping session.
We retrieve and store permit data from municipal portals on your behalf, including permit numbers, addresses, statuses, inspection results, inspector notes, fee information, and scheduled dates. This data originates from public government records and is stored in association with your account.
We collect standard server logs including IP addresses, browser type, pages visited, and timestamps. We do not use third-party analytics trackers.
Payment processing is handled by Stripe, Inc. We do not store credit card numbers, CVVs, or full payment details on our servers. Stripe’s privacy policy governs their handling of your payment information: stripe.com/privacy.
We use the information we collect to:
We do not use your information for advertising. We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information or Portal Credentials to third parties.
We take the security of your Portal Credentials seriously:
We share information only in the following circumstances:
We do not share your Portal Credentials with any third party for any purpose.
During registration, we verify your contractor license number against a locally maintained copy of the Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation (DBPR) public records database. This database is updated weekly from publicly available DBPR bulk data files. We store your license number and the associated public registration data (name, license type, status, expiration date) in connection with your account. This information is public record maintained by the State of Florida.
We use strictly functional cookies for authentication (session tokens) and user preferences. We do not use advertising cookies, tracking pixels, or third-party analytics cookies.
You have the right to:
The Service is intended for licensed Florida contractors and is not directed at individuals under 18 years of age. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18.
We may update this Privacy Policy periodically. Material changes will be communicated via email at least 14 days before they take effect. The “Last Updated” date at the top of this page indicates when the policy was most recently revised.
