In Altamonte Springs, the Building and Fire Safety Department at 225 Newburyport Avenue handles both building permits and code enforcement. Code cases the city cannot settle go to its Code Enforcement Board, which meets on the second Thursday of the month and on the fourth when needed. A house inside city limits answers to the city, not to Seminole County.
The city runs its own lien search through its online customer self-service portal, priced per building in three tiers: $10 for liens and assessments, $30 to add utility balances and code violations, and $60 to add open or expired permits and certificate of occupancy records. Results take 7 to 10 business days. Our title company orders the full search when you sign, so an expired water heater permit or an old fine is known well before closing.
