Which permits does the City of South Pasadena issue?
South Pasadena is a small city between St. Petersburg and St. Pete Beach, with its own building department. Work there needs a South Pasadena permit, not a St. Petersburg or county one.
How to check a permit's status
- Without signing in: search the city’s Tyler EnerGov self-service portal by the permit number to see its status and inspections.
- Signed in with your Tyler account: the permits on your account are listed together, and you can request inspections from them.
Permit applications can be uploaded to the portal, brought to the Community Improvement Department, or sent by email. The office is open weekdays from 7:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.
Inspections
Inspections are requested on the permit in the city's portal, and results appear on the permit.
Keeping a permit from expiring
Under the Florida Building Code (section 105.4.1), a permit becomes invalid if work doesn't start within six months of issuance, or if work stops for six months after it starts. Work counts as in progress when the permit has an approved inspection within 180 days (section 105.4.1.3). A failed or cancelled inspection doesn't reset the clock.
If the city's record shows an expiration date, that date is the one that counts. Check it after every inspection rather than counting days yourself, and ask the City of South Pasadena Community Improvement Department about an extension before the date passes, not after.
This guide is general information for contractors, not legal advice. Procedures change; confirm with the City of South Pasadena Community Improvement Department.
See every South Pasadena permit on one list
PermitGlance signs in to your South Pasadena portal account and imports every permit on it, with its inspections and city documents. It warns you before a permit expires and tells you when an inspection fails, alongside your permits in the 16 other jurisdictions we cover. It only reads; it never changes anything on your city account.
