County mail
Forward it once. It finds the permit.
Every county emails you when something moves: application received, plan review comments, approval, inspection result. That mail is the only status feed Florida actually offers, and it sits in an inbox nobody reads on a Tuesday.
One mail rule, then nothing to do
- Step 1Your own addressEach company gets one forwarding address. Point a Gmail filter or Outlook rule at it once.
- Step 2Matched by numberWe read the permit number the county wrote and attach the message to that permit.
- Step 3Their words, keptThe county's subject line is stored exactly as written, so you read them, not our summary.
- Step 4Arrived early? Still keptMail about a permit you have not added yet is held, and attaches itself the moment you add it.
How the work moves
What stops happening once the rule is set.
None of this is a portal integration. It is your mail, routed to the record it is about, which turns out to be most of the value.
- Step 1
Checking the portal to see if anything moved
The county already told you by email. Now that email is on the permit, with the date it arrived.
- Step 2
Hunting for which permit an email was about
The record number in the message decides. If it matches two of your permits, we attach it to neither and say so, because guessing on a permit record is worse than asking.
- Step 3
Retyping a permit number off a screen
When the county writes about a permit you have not entered, the number is carried into the new-permit form for you.
- Step 4
Wondering whether anything was missed
The page shows when county mail last arrived. Silence is shown as silence rather than as everything being fine.
Next step
Set one mail rule and stop refreshing the portal.
Your county's notifications land on the permit they are about, quoted exactly as they were written.
Statutory review-window and expiry clocks run on the same records, and alert before a deadline passes.
