PDCS is pleased to partner with the Town of Windermere to provide building department services to help sustain and develop a safe and attractive community.
To apply for a permit please review the submittal guidelines (located in the right hand column) for your desired project. These guidelines provide you with a detailed checklist of required documents and submission materials for a permit based on project.
***All submitted applications must include at least one electronic copy (pdf format) of your site plans, drawings, manufacturer specifications etc. This pdf can be submitted on disk, flash drive or uploaded directly to our site through the “Upload Completed Application” section (located in the right hand column beneath submittal guidelines).***
After reviewing the submittal guidelines please review the fees to ascertain the permitting group for your project. Your group number is required information on your permit application.
Once you have determined your permitting group number you can begin completing your application which can be found by simply selecting “Apply for Permit” at the top of this page. The permit application is a PDF which you may type directly on if you wish, you will then need to print and sign in the presence of a notary before submitting your application to PDCS for permitting. Other important documents which maybe required for your application can be found in the “Important Files” section (located at the top of the right hand column).
This option is available to all permits. After you have printed and completed the application and compiled all of your documents for submittal you may scan them into an electronic file (pdf). With this pdf you may upload them in the area titled “Upload Completed Application” or email them to Permit@pdcsllc.com.
