3 permitting authorities are cataloged in Madera County. PermitProof searches 0 of them automatically against the official source; each of those has its own page, linked below. The other 3 are listed here with what the catalog records for each: the reason no automated search runs, what was found when the source was researched, the official source where one is recorded, and the records-request route where one has been verified.
Unincorporated areas of the county are permitted by County of Madera, not by the city whose name a mailing address carries. Incorporated cities each file with their own authority.
Where a search cannot establish something, the report says so in that row - it never fills a field in, and it never reports “no permits found” without certified evidence.
The catalog records, from multiple independent search results in a fast triage pass, that the county uses Citizenserve for online permit applications and status, but the county's specific Citizenserve portal address was not pinned down, so the linked source is the county's own permits page.
This jurisdiction does not publish permit records online. They have to be requested from the city or county directly, usually by phone or email.
When the source was researched in July 2026, the catalog recorded that Chowchilla handles permit applications by email only and that no permit search tool was found on the city's site.
Records requests go through the records-request page the jurisdiction publishes.
