Building in Orange County, FL.

Orange County is part of Central Florida, with its county seat in Orlando. The county is inland, so most projects deal with lakes, wetlands and local drainage rules rather than shoreline setbacks.

Permits for unincorporated Orange County, FL go through the Orange County Division of Building Safety. Incorporated cities such as Orlando, Winter Park and Apopka usually handle permits inside their own limits. We check which office reviews your address before drafting, so the drawings match its checklist the first time.

Frequently asked questions.

Do you prepare permit drawings in Orange County, FL?

Yes. We prepare site plans and permit drawings for projects in Orange County, FL remotely from our Orlando, Florida office. We check the reviewing jurisdiction for your address before drafting.

Who reviews building permits in Orange County, FL?

Orange County Division of Building Safety reviews permits for unincorporated areas of Orange County, FL. Incorporated cities such as Orlando, Winter Park, Apopka and Ocoee usually review permits inside their own limits. We confirm the reviewing office for your address before drafting.

Which building code applies in Orange County, FL?

Florida uses one statewide code, the Florida Building Code. The 8th Edition (2023) has been in effect since December 31, 2023, and the 9th Edition (2026) is scheduled to take effect on December 31, 2026. We draw to the edition in force when your permit is submitted.

Is Orange County, FL in the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone?

No. Only Miami-Dade and Broward counties are in the HVHZ. Projects in Orange County, FL still need wind design to the Florida Building Code, and exterior products need Florida Product Approval or local approval.

Does my Orange County project need a flood zone review?

Many Florida properties, including inland ones, sit in FEMA flood zones. If yours does, the site plan usually shows the flood zone and elevations, and an elevation certificate may be required.

Do I need a notice of commencement in Orange County, FL?

Under Florida law, a notice of commencement is required for improvements with a direct contract over $5,000. It is recorded with the clerk of court before the first inspection. Repair or replacement of an existing heating or air conditioning system under $15,000 is exempt.

Can I pull my own permit in Orange County, FL?

Florida allows property owners to act as their own contractor under the owner-builder exemption, with a signed disclosure statement. The building department explains the rules that apply. We prepare the drawings either way.

Do you prepare drawings for cities in Orange County, FL?

Yes. We prepare drawings for projects in Orlando, Winter Park, Apopka, Ocoee, Winter Garden and Maitland and every other part of the county. Each city can have its own zoning rules and checklist, so we check them for your address.

Do I need a survey for a site plan in Orange County, FL?

Often, but not always. Many offices accept an existing survey or recorded plat for small projects, while others ask for a current boundary survey. We tell you what applies before you pay.

Do drawings for Orange County, FL need to be sealed?

It depends on the project and the jurisdiction. Many residential projects do not require a seal. Where one is required, licensed professional review can be coordinated, subject to the professional's independent review.

How do I get a quote for a project in Orange County, FL?

Send the property address, the project type and any survey, photos or city comments. We reply with a written scope, price and timeline.
