How a permit moves through City of Florida City
Where the application starts
Online portalAs of 1 January 2026 every new application goes through eTRAKiT: the City offers “24/7 online access to planning applications, building permits, inspections, business tax licenses, and code compliance services through the eTRAKiT portal”. Projects that began before that date stay on the older Contractors Portal and Plans Processing sites. The application is one of the City’s per-scope PDFs — separate ones for building, electrical, plumbing, gas, mechanical, roofing, window, shutter, fence and sign.

Where plans and documents go
Online portalThe City’s instruction is literal: “Complete applications and upload into the eTRAKiT Portal.” What accompanies them is set by the application itself — a fence takes two copies of the property survey with water meters marked, roofing takes two copies of the Miami-Dade product approval and two of Appendix E.
