The Automated Permit Inspection Management System allows callers to use a touch tone telephone to schedule inspections, check the status of a completed inspection, check the status and fees due for an application, and obtain office hours and phone numbers for the Building Division.

A personal identification number (PIN) is required to schedule an inspection. A PIN may be assigned to you by contacting Contractor Licensing at (352)754-4109.

The system is designed to check the status of your license once your PIN is entered. You may receive a message that your insurance, bond, worker's comp., occupational license, etc. will expire in a certain number of days. This message is provided to you as a courtesy reminder, and does not stop you from scheduling inspections.

Please Note: If your Hernando County license is on a "File Deficient" or "Inactive" status, you will not be able to use the automated inspection system. You may contact Contractor Licensing to update or activate your license.

If you experience difficulties using this system, 
please contact Jodi Singer
at (352)754-4165, Ext. Ext. 29103
