These six pages are the same company. They are not six offices. Read the one that matches the dirt, because the permit desk and the house stock change.

Ocala, FL
Home office. City lots file with the City of Ocala. Unincorporated lots that still say Ocala file with Marion County Building Safety on Civic Access. Masonry, live oaks, some historic review.
Open Ocala, FLBelleview, FL
Its own building division at 5525 SE 119th Street. The mailing name runs past the city line. Chapter 134 zoning. Older town stock and new slabs at the edge.
Open Belleview, FLDunnellon, FL
City counter at 20750 River Drive. River humidity, flood documents when the lot is mapped, docks and lifts as their own scope. A Dunnellon address can still be county.
Open Dunnellon, FLSilver Springs, FL
Unincorporated. No city building department. County desk and Civic Access. Not the same community as Silver Springs Shores. Drainage and oaks do the talking.
Open Silver Springs, FLSummerfield, FL
South Marion on 27/441. Not The Villages. Most lots are county. Well, septic, sand, and a GPS pin that lies. Architectural letters from next door are not a permit.
Open Summerfield, FLMarion Oaks, FL
A subdivision, not a city hall. Association paper is private. Building permits are county. Cart paths, tight side yards, lanais with and without a paper trail.
Open Marion Oaks, FL
What Each Location Page Is For
The Ocala page is the two-desk problem: city versus county on streets that look the same. The Belleview page is the city line and Chapter 134. The Dunnellon page is water, wind, and a municipal counter that is not Civic Access. Silver Springs is county plus springs-country drainage and a name that gets mixed with Shores. Summerfield is county plus the Villages mix-up. Marion Oaks is county plus an association that does not inspect flashing.
If you only need a phone number, call (352) 820-6068 and give the folio. If you want to know why the first form might be wrong, open the page for that place before you request an estimate.
Who Issues the Permit, in One Pass
- City of Ocala — city lots inside the limit. See Ocala.
- City of Belleview — Belleview Development Services, Dennis Monroe Public Works Complex. See Belleview.
- City of Dunnellon — Community Development, 20750 River Drive. See Dunnellon.
- Marion County Building Safety — 2710 E. Silver Springs Blvd., Civic Access. Used for unincorporated Silver Springs, Summerfield, Marion Oaks, and Ocala-addressed county lots.
County department phone is 352-438-2400. That is the county. Ours is (352) 820-6068. This hub does not reprint fee tables. Those live at the counter that owns the parcel.
Which Government Owns the Dirt
This hub exists because “we work Marion County” is not a permit path. Ocala city, Belleview city, Dunnellon city, and unincorporated communities that share a mailing name do not share a counter. The pages below are how this site keeps those files from collapsing into one brochure.
Ocala Building Contractor is disabled veteran-owned, 17 years, CBC1263067. Office: 217 SE 1st Ave Ste 200 – 18, Ocala, FL 34471. Call (352) 820-6068. Work described on the location pages is dispatched from that office. There is no second storefront printed here.
Match the URL to the Folio
Start with the folio and the appraiser record, not the GPS label. If the parcel is City of Ocala, open Ocala. If it is City of Belleview, open Belleview. If it is City of Dunnellon, open Dunnellon. If it is unincorporated and the community is Silver Springs, Summerfield, or Marion Oaks, use those pages. They still file county papers. They do not file the same site conditions.
A Belleview mailing address can be county. A Dunnellon mailing address can be county. An Ocala mailing address can be county. The welcome sign does not issue permits.
Four Counters, One County
- City of Ocala building — city files inside the limit
- Belleview Development Services — Dennis Monroe Public Works Complex, 5525 SE 119th Street, for city lots
- Dunnellon Community Development — 20750 River Drive, planning@dunnellon.org, (352) 465-8500, for city lots
- Marion County Building Safety — 2710 E. Silver Springs Blvd., Ocala, FL 34470, Civic Access, 352-438-2400, for unincorporated lots
Those department numbers are the governments’. Ours is (352) 820-6068.
Why These Communities Do Not Share a Form
Ocala is two desks and a lot of masonry under live oaks, with historic review on some near-in blocks. Belleview is its own building division and a city line that is tighter than the name, plus Chapter 134 zoning. Dunnellon is river humidity, possible flood documents, docks and lifts, and a historic-district process the city publishes. Silver Springs is county plus springs-country drainage and a name that gets confused with Silver Springs Shores. Summerfield is county plus the constant mix-up with The Villages. Marion Oaks is county plus an association that is not the inspector.
Read the page that matches the dirt. Do not skim the hub and assume the kitchen scope is identical everywhere.
When the Neighbor’s Permit Does Not Apply
Annexation moves a lot from county to city and then the city advertises a rezoning. Last year’s desk can be wrong this year. One side of a ditch can be city. The other can be county. The neighbor’s permit is evidence of their folio, not yours.
Deed restrictions and architectural committees are private. They do not replace a building permit. A permit does not replace a covenant. Jobs that need both should collect both before demolition.
Plans Sitting in the Wrong Queue
Uploading a Belleview city job to Civic Access because “it’s all Marion County” wastes a week. Emailing a Summerfield county job to Dunnellon’s planning inbox wastes another. The first line on a ticket in this company is the parcel and the desk. Everything else is sequence.
Florida Building Code, 8th edition, is what Marion County Building Safety currently lists. Cities adopt the state code as well. Confirm the edition on the file. Fee tables stay with the counter. They are not reprinted here as if they were permanent.
Folio, Gate Code, and Scope
Address. Gate code. City or county if you know it. Roof, kitchen, addition, commercial interior, or something else. Photos of the panel door and the eave if they are safe to take. Do not get on a wet roof.
On site: access, drainage, roof and flashing, settlement, panel and handler if the scope adds load. After a wall opens: whatever the drawing did not know. Change orders carry photos. Weather owns the exterior calendar in every one of these communities.
