Malabar Goes Online-Only for Building Permits

MELBOURNE — The Town of Malabar now requires all building permit applications to be submitted through its official online portal, accepting neither emailed nor paper submissions.

This change, effective immediately, aims to streamline the permitting process for residents and contractors. The town previously announced a phase-out of paper applications, with May 1, 2024, serving as the final deadline unless exceptions were noted.

Applications submitted through any method other than the online portal will be returned without review. The town encourages applicants to familiarize themselves with the portal's features and requirements.

Town administration stated the transition will create a more accessible and efficient system for managing local development and construction. Residents needing assistance with the online portal should contact the town's permitting department.
