PermitMap publishes well-construction permit records issued by the Southwest Florida Water Management District (SWFWMD) and spatially assigned to Citrus County. This is partial-county, specialty coverage. Citrus County building-permit coverage is not available on PermitMap. PermitMap previously carried an Accela-based Citrus County building-permit snapshot. That snapshot was retired because it used record-opened dates rather than permit issue dates and was stale through August 4, 2026. The retirement applies to county building permits only; it does not describe the SWFWMD well-construction records. PermitMap is an independent research product, not the official county permitting portal; verify official applications, inspections, documents, and record status with the relevant permitting authority.
Citrus County coverage status

This is partial-county, specialty coverage. Citrus County building-permit coverage is not available on PermitMap. Citrus County is not available for county trial selection.
In July 2026, Citrus County authorized 178 residential building-permit units in the U.S. Census Building Permits Survey, ranking it #29 of 67 Florida counties by permit volume. Volume moved down 5.8% from the prior month, and is down 14% year over year. Single-family work accounted for 178 of those permits and multifamily (5+ unit) for 0. That puts single-family at roughly 100% of Citrus's permit activity this month — a fast read on whether new-home construction or renovation and multifamily work is driving local demand. Across the last 6 months of Census data, monthly permit volume in Citrus moved from 149 to 178 units.
