The Polk City Florida website is undergoing modifications to provide enhanced access to documents for disabled individuals who are visually impaired and to comply with the requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) to make reasonable accommodations. While these modifications are being made many documents have been removed. If you would like to obtain a document not currently provided on the website, please contact our City Manager, Patricia Jackson at (863) 984-1375 or patricia.jackson@mypolkcity.org. Thank you for your patience and understanding as we implement these changes.

How long does it take to get a building permit?

Once the application is submitted is normally takes about two business days. If your contractor is not registered to work in the City the permit can be held until they complete registration. Permits submitted with drawings for review will not be completed until a review of the submittals has taken place.
