A permit can lose time before review even begins if it is sent to the wrong office. Sweetwater's Building & Zoning information and Public Works/Engineering procedure use different routes.
Use the city's permit pages to identify the type of work. If you are unsure, contact the city with the project description and property address rather than sending documents to multiple inboxes.
Building & Zoning
The city's Building & Zoning forms page links its electronic-submission instructions. Those instructions list submittals@cityofsweetwater.fl.gov. Follow the current form, file, plan and signature requirements.
Public Works/Engineering
The Public Works procedure lists pwsubmittals@cityofsweetwater.fl.gov and describes professional digital signature and seal requirements when applicable. The page also describes an initial payment for its process. Do not assume that payment or email applies to Building & Zoning.
