Permit Help in North Palm Beach
If your property is inside the Village of North Palm Beach, building permits are issued by the Village Building Division — not by Palm Beach County and not by Palm Beach Gardens, the Town of Palm Beach, Lake Park, or Juno Beach. A North Palm Beach 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 North Palm Beach properties. We do not issue or approve permits. The Village’s building official decides those outcomes.
Which office reviews a North Palm Beach property?
The Building Division reviews applications and inspections for work in the Village. The office is at 701 U.S. Highway 1, Suite 100, North Palm Beach, FL 33408. The phone number is (561) 841-3365, option 1. The email is permits@village-npb.org. Posted business hours are Monday through Friday, 7:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m., except holidays.
Association or condominium approval, when a property requires it, is separate from the Village permit and remains the client’s responsibility. Elevation-certificate or flood-zone questions, when they apply, should be confirmed with the Building Division. The Village also posts information about certain residential permit exemptions; confirm any exemption request with the Building Division before starting work.
How North Palm Beach applications are submitted
New applications go through the Village’s MGO Connect portal at https://www.mgoconnect.org/cp/portal. Paper and physical submittals are no longer accepted. Create an account in the portal to submit the application, upload documents, pay fees, and schedule inspections. The Village posts that it accepts checks or credit cards.
Contractors must complete Village MGO contractor registration, including license and insurance information, before submitting a permit application. An MGO login created for another city is not a substitute for that North Palm Beach registration. The Village posts help guides for notices of commencement, reviewer comments, revisions, subcontractor documents, and stamped files.
Inspections for permits issued in MGO after January 18, 2024, are scheduled in the customer portal. For older permits issued before that date, the Village says inspections are scheduled by calling (561) 841-3365 by 3:00 p.m. on the business day before the date you want. The Village also posts virtual-inspection options for some permitted work. To look up a property’s permit or inspection history, use the Village’s Citizen Self-Serve records form, which is separate from the MGO apply portal.
A Village of North Palm Beach MGO filing is not a substitute for a Palm Beach County permit on an unincorporated parcel, and it is not the same portal as Palm Beach Gardens Civic Access, Town of Palm Beach EPL, or Juno Beach MGO, even when those sites use similar software.
How Permit Busters can help
Permit expediting. Share the North Palm Beach address, the scope of work, and whether an MGO record already exists. We can help prepare application information, organize uploads, and follow Village 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 North Palm Beach notice is not the same as a Palm Beach County notice or a notice from Palm Beach Gardens, Lake Park, or Juno Beach. 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 North Palm Beach record, gather the permit number — including whether it is an MGO record or an older pre-2024 number — inspection history if you have it, and the question from your transaction team. Identifying a record and resolving it are separate steps. A consultation cannot guarantee a closing date.
Project types we often discuss in North Palm Beach
Homeowners, businesses, and real estate professionals often need help with renovations, windows and doors, roofing, fences, driveways, or docks, or with an open permit found during a sale.
Questions specific to North Palm Beach
Who issues the permit?
The Village of North Palm Beach Building Division issues its own permits. Do not file a village-limit property in the Palm Beach County system, in Palm Beach Gardens Civic Access, or in the Town of Palm Beach EPL portal.
How do I file?
Submit new applications through MGO Connect at https://www.mgoconnect.org/cp/portal. Paper filings are not accepted. Contractors must finish Village MGO registration before applying. Schedule newer inspections in the portal; call (561) 841-3365 for older pre-January 18, 2024, permits.
What should I gather before a consultation?
The property address, confirmation that it is inside the Village of North Palm Beach, 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.
