One of 30 cities with a searchable list. Code violation lists by city.
Orlando code-enforcement cases of the housing, lot, zoning, abatement and commercial types, about 147,000 opened 1994 to present. Business-tax, ticket, sign and other case types in the same table are left out. Lags the calendar: on 2026-10-14 the newest case in the table was opened 2026-09-23. 99,433 of the 146,669 case addresses carry two spaces after the house number ('4274 TATUM ST'); the search matches that gap as a run of one to four spaces, or the spacing as typed, and nothing else, so '4274 Tatum St' finds the case.
Covers properties inside the City of Orlando. Unincorporated Orange County and the county's other cities (Winter Park, Apopka, Ocoee and the rest) keep their own permit and code-enforcement records.
Source: City of Orlando Open Data. Public record (City of Orlando). Code-enforcement cases and permit applications are both published on the City of Orlando's open-data portal. On 2026-10-14 the newest record in both tables was dated 2026-09-23, although the portal reported a same-day refresh. Most code-case addresses carry two spaces after the house number ("4274 TATUM ST"); the search matches that gap as a run of one to four spaces, or the spacing as typed, and nothing else, so a full address ("4274 Tatum St") finds them.
Buyers and renters check a property for open code cases and unpermitted work before they commit. Homeowners confirm a contractor pulled the permit they paid for, and that it closed. Neighbors look up a problem property near them. Investors, agents, and inspectors fold the violation and permit history into due diligence. Paid services charge per report for these public records; the city's data is open, so this tool is free.
Two public records for a Orlando property: the code-enforcement violations reported against it and the building permits pulled for work on it. Together they show open code cases, what was built or repaired and when, and, where the city records it, who did the work.
It is pulled live from City of Orlando Open Data each time you search; nothing is cached on our end. The coverage line under each tab states the exact span that dataset covers, so you always know how fresh the records are.
Only properties with a record on file appear. Many properties have no open violation and no recent permit, which is normal, not an error. Try the street name on its own, or a nearby address, and check both tabs.
A violation is a case the city opened. Its status (open, closed, or resolved) tells you where it stands, so read the status on each record instead of assuming a listed violation is still active.
It is what City of Orlando Open Data publishes openly, which is the city's own record. For the certified file, or for very recent activity that has not synced yet, use the official city portal linked under the results.
Parcel lookup answers who owns a property and its assessed value, from the county. A property report answers what has happened to the building, from the city: violations and permits. They complement each other.
