Permit Help in the Village of Golf
If your property is inside the Village of Golf, building permits are issued by the Village Building Department — not by Palm Beach County and not by Boynton Beach, Gulf Stream, or Ocean Ridge. A Village of Golf mailing address can still sit outside village limits. Confirm the issuing office before anyone applies.
Permit Busters, LLC helps homeowners, business owners, real estate professionals, and contractors with permit expediting, code-violation resolution, and open or expired permit questions on Village of Golf properties. We do not issue or approve permits. The Village’s building official decides those outcomes.
Which office reviews a Village of Golf property?
The Building Department reviews permit applications and inspections for work in the Village. Village Hall is at 21 Country Road, Village of Golf, FL 33436. The phone number is (561) 732-0236. Posted administration hours are Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.
Association approval, when a property requires it, is separate from the Village permit and remains the client’s responsibility. Zoning and land-use questions, when they apply, are a separate Village path from the building permit.
How Village of Golf applications are submitted
For permits that require a fee, the Village accepts applications electronically through its online permitting portal. Status updates, document requests, inspection scheduling, and payments are handled in that portal. The Village no longer accepts paper permit applications for those filings. The portal is linked from the official Permitting page at https://www.villageofgolf.org/building/page/permitting. The live portal button on that page goes to https://www.mgoconnect.org/cp/portal. Online applications must include a completed, signed, and notarized Universal County-Wide/Municipal Building Permit Application Form.
Contractors who already have open permits from before the portal must continue the former process until those permits are fully closed, including required inspections. The Village also posts a separate no-fee permit application for certain non-structural residential work. Whether a project qualifies is a Village Building Department decision; confirm with the Village before starting work. Completed no-fee applications are emailed to the Village addresses posted on the Permitting page.
A Village of Golf filing is not a substitute for a Palm Beach County permit on an unincorporated parcel, and a County filing is not a substitute for the Village permit. Do not file a Village of Golf property in the Boynton Beach, Gulf Stream, or Ocean Ridge systems.
How Permit Busters can help
Permit expediting. Share the Village of Golf address, confirmation that the property is inside the Village, the scope of work, and whether a portal record or older Village permit already exists. We can help prepare the universal application and supporting documents, organize the electronic upload, and follow reviewer comments. Licensed contractors or eligible owner-builders still have to meet the Village’s applicant rules. Government fees are separate from our fee. Our fee is non-refundable once work begins.
Code-violation resolution. Read the agency named on the notice. A Village of Golf notice is not the same as a Palm Beach County notice or a notice from Boynton Beach or Gulf Stream. If a hearing is involved, our help is document preparation only, not attorney work and not legal advice. Bring the notice, confirmation of the property village, and any related permit records.
Open or expired permits. Finished physical work is not the same as a closed permit. If a sale or refinance turned up an open or expired Village of Golf record, gather the permit number, inspection history if you have it, and the question from your transaction team. Ask whether the record is in the new portal or still on the former process. Identifying a record and resolving it are separate steps. A consultation cannot guarantee a closing date.
Project types we often discuss in the Village of Golf
Homeowners and real estate professionals often need help with renovations, windows and doors, roofing, fences, or with an open permit found during a sale.
Questions specific to the Village of Golf
Who issues the permit?
The Village of Golf Building Department issues its own permits. Do not file a village-limit property in the Palm Beach County system or in a neighboring city’s portal.
How do I file?
For fee-based permits, apply through the online portal at https://www.mgoconnect.org/cp/portal, linked from https://www.villageofgolf.org/building/page/permitting, and include the notarized universal countywide/municipal application. Paper applications are not accepted for those filings. Ask the Village whether a no-fee application applies to limited non-structural work. Village Hall is at 21 Country Road, (561) 732-0236.
What should I gather before a consultation?
The property address, confirmation that it is inside the Village of Golf, a short description of the work or the notice, any permit or case number, and copies of plans or inspection history if you have them.
