Orange County code violation lookup — and why there's no public permit search

Orange County's permits run through its Accela portal with no public data feed, so there is no self-serve "open permit search" the way Miami-Dade or Hillsborough have one. Code enforcement is the record that is public.

The code violation lookup

Orange County Code Enforcement publishes active violations and open incidents by parcel, sourced from the county's own 311 case system. A case marked Active or Investigating is open; Closed means it was resolved. One thing worth knowing: these descriptions are citizen-submitted through the 311 app, so they occasionally carry the complainant's own name or phone number, not the property's. ParcelPast strips that before it shows you anything.

Why there's no permit search

We checked: Orange County's own GIS organization has no public mirror of its permit system (Accela eConnect), unlike Hillsborough's county-run permit dashboard. If that changes, this page and the free check below will be the first to reflect it.

What it misses

This covers unincorporated Orange County. Orlando and the other municipalities run their own code and permitting, outside this feed. The free check below tells you which jurisdiction an address falls in before it reads anything.

What the $49 report adds

Every open code enforcement case the county lists, cleaned of any citizen-submitted personal detail, plus the parcel's basic facts — for one address, read live. A real example.
