Building Permit Application
Effective June 1st, 2007
Building Permit Application
The Sumter County Building Department is implementing a “Building Permit Application” beginning June 1, 2007. This document was developed to comply with Florida Law and to accurately record the permitting submittal process.
The Building Permit Application will be required for ALL PERMIT SUBMITTALS! The application is available online and can be downloaded from the Sumter County Building Department website (sumtercountyfl.gov). It may also be obtained from the Bushnell office or the Villages Annex office.

The Building Department
provides public health and safety by building plans
examination, inspecting buildings and managing records
for the construction industry within the community.
The department also assists the public in obtaining
permits and licenses for building needs, along with
consulting with architects, engineers and homeowners.
Through Sumter County's Economic
Development Initiative, the Planning & Development
Staff is committed to expediting your requests for
"Development Approvals" and "Building
Permits".
We also are committed to assisting you
in obtaining development approvals from other agencies
as required.
We want your "Permitting Experience"
with us to be a good one!
