Expansion permits are a type of supplies which let players unlock the 47 special expansion areas containing 29 unique decorations.
They are unlocked at experience level 25.
Unlike other expansion items, the permits are not stored in the barn.
Getting permits
Unlike other expansion items, permits cannot be bought or sold.
Permits can be obtained when players:
- Spin the Wheel of Fortune
- Reach flag checkpoints 4 and 7 in derbies
- Find them in Huge Boxes or in some of the Holiday Calendar Boxes on Greg's farm
- Earn them during Special Boat Events
- Buy them in Valley Shop or play lucky bonus in valley Daily Quest until the 2nd round or above is reached
- Complete checkpoints on either free or paid Farm Pass
- Purchase using real money in diamond shop at "Offer" section.
At their first appearance, they could also be obtained when a player:
- Open mystery boxes
- Reach experience level thresholds
...but these possibilities were removed in a subsequent update. Subsequently, they were added back to "huge" mystery boxes, but not to "regular" or "large" mystery boxes.
Once players have the number of permits needed to unlock all areas, they will not get any more permits (unless and until new plots requiring permits are added in subsequent updates).
A total of 643 permits are needed to clear all 50 expansion areas that were introduced through the Summer 2021 update. Detailed maps of each expansion area can be found here.
Strategy tips
- You can see how many permits you have by tapping on a locked area on the south-east of your farm that has access to a nearby road or by tapping your level star.
- Expansion Permits will only appear in derby prize columns 4 and 7, so if you opt to spend 5 diamonds to reshuffle the derby prizes to earn Expansion Permits, remember not to select a prize in columns 4 or 7 prior to shuffling as these are the only two columns where it is possible to be awarded Expansion Permits.
