Do I need a permit for plumbing fixture or repiping in Orange Park?
Yes. In Florida, plumbing fixture or repiping generally requires a permit, and Orange Park is no exception.
Repiping, meaning replacing supply, drain, waste, or vent piping, requires a plumbing permit in Florida. A straightforward like-for-like replacement of a faucet, sink, or toilet, and clearing stoppages or fixing leaks, is generally exempt as long as no pipe or valve is moved or replaced. As soon as concealed pipe must be removed and replaced, it is treated as new work that needs a permit.

Florida and local notes for Orange Park
Clay County's own permitting office is the Clay County Building Division, reachable on 904-269-6307 at https://www.claycountygov.com/government/building. It issues permits for the unincorporated county. If your city does not run its own building department, and many smaller Florida municipalities do not, this is the office that will handle the job. The rough inspection has to happen before walls are closed, so confirm scheduling lead time when you pull the permit. Plumbing work is expressly excluded from Orange Park's HB 803 exemption, so a repipe needs a plumbing permit regardless of cost. The plumbing fee is a $75 base plus $5 for each fixture, floor drain, or trap, including water and drainage piping. Applications can be filed through the town's iWorQ permit portal, by email to ECD@townop.com, or in person at Town Hall, 2042 Park Avenue.
