Search Santa Rosa County permit records
The county's Obtain a Permit page states: 'My Government Online is the new permitting software as of May 2022. To apply or search for permits please create an account.' MGO is a client-side application that renders no content without a logged-in session, so the exact public search fields (address, permit number, contractor, etc.) could not be independently verified by fetching the page. A legacy public lookup previously at public.santarosa.fl.gov/GoPermitsNew, which older indexed county pages still link to, no longer resolves (connection failure), consistent with the county's 2022 move to MGO.

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. Development Services (Permitting & Building Compliance Division) can check the paper file.
