This is the 'Current Permit Search,' which covers permits submitted after January 9, 2023. Permits completed before that date are on a separate 'Archived Permit Search' at https://public.claycountygov.com/permitsearch/. Per the Building Division FAQ, records can be searched by address, permit number, contractor, or parcel information, and 'You do not have to be logged into the system to search.'.
The search accepts address, permit number, contractor, or parcel information.

- Enter an address, or switch the search type to look up permits by permit number, contractor, or parcel information.
- Open a result to see the permit's status, inspection history, and issue date.
If the permit does not turn up
Older permits are often missing from online records, and a permit filed under a contractor's name will not surface in an address search that expects the owner. Clay County Building Division can check the paper file.
