Permit Expediters in Lake Worth Beach, FL
The City of Lake Worth Beach Building Division at 1900 2nd Avenue North accepts both the City of Lake Worth Beach permit application and the Palm Beach County Universal Permit Application for all permit types. The city performs all plan review digitally and delivers approved permits by email or file transfer to the contractor of record. If your application includes subcontractors, all subcontractor qualifier signatures must be on the application and the plans must include details of all subcontractor work at the time of submittal, missing any qualifier signature results in a separate permit being required at additional fees. Contractor registration must be current at the time of submittal. Next-day inspections must be scheduled by 4:00 PM either through the automated phone line at 561-586-1691 or online. Same-day inspections require a separate call to 561-586-1647 and carry additional fees. The Florida legislature now requires all condominium and cooperative associations with buildings three stories or taller and more than 30 years old to complete milestone inspection reports under HB 913, which was updated effective July 1, 2025.

How It Works
- Free consultation: We review your project scope, confirm which application form applies, identify all subcontractor trades that must have qualifier signatures at initial submittal, and determine whether milestone inspection compliance applies to your property.
- Document collection: We gather your completed master permit application, all required plans and supporting documents, subcontractor qualifier signatures across every trade discipline, and the Notice of Commencement for applicable projects.
- Pre-submittal document upload: We upload all required documents before submitting the application, as the city requires all documents to be present before processing begins.
- Submission: We submit your complete Lake Worth Beach building permit application online through the city portal or in person at 1900 2nd Avenue North, Monday through Friday from 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM.

Why Choose Us
Lake Worth Beach requires all subcontractor qualifier signatures and trade details at initial submittal with no exceptions. Missing a single trade signature results in a separate permit at additional fees, which adds cost and time to every affected discipline.
We know:
- That all subcontractor qualifier signatures must be on the permit application and plans must include the details of all subcontractor work at the time of initial submittal, and missing any signature results in a separate permit being required with additional fees assessed to the applicant
- That all required documents must be uploaded before the application is processed, and submitting an incomplete package means the city will not begin review until all documents are present
- That the city accepts both the City of Lake Worth Beach application and the Palm Beach County Universal Permit Application, and we use whichever format is most appropriate for your project type
- That all plan review is performed digitally and approved permits are delivered by email or file transfer to the contractor of record, which means permit packages can only be received at the contractor's registered email address

- That next-day inspections must be scheduled by 4:00 PM through the automated line at 561-586-1691 or online, and same-day inspections require a direct call to 561-586-1647 and carry additional fees
- That condominium and cooperative associations with buildings three stories or taller and more than 30 years old must comply with Florida's milestone inspection requirements under HB 913, updated effective July 1, 2025, which introduced the term "habitable stories" creating new applicability questions that require legal counsel review
