Permit assistance in West Palm Beach

EPL and Civic Access work together

West Palm Beach uses EPL for digital permitting and Civic Access as the customer-facing portal. Use the property location and existing reference to identify the right City record before submitting documents.

Respond to comments in the existing workflow

Civic Access supports resubmittals, fee payment, approved plans and inspections. Send the current review comments and application reference so we can organize the next documents without starting a duplicate request.

What to send

• Property address and folio or parcel number, if available.
• Scope of work, available plans and survey, and contractor details.
• Existing application numbers, notices, reviewer comments and prior approvals.

Questions before you apply

What if my permit is open or expired?

The City publishes specific contacts for expired and open permits. Bring the record number, inspection history and the reason work stopped so the next step can be reviewed.

Can you help with a violation or corrections?

Send the notice, deadline and application number. We help track the required responses. Permit issuance, inspections and violation closure are separate agency decisions.

How long will it take?

Timing depends on scope, review cycles and outside approvals. We assess the current record before discussing an estimate.
