Do I need a permit for plumbing fixture or repiping in New Port Richey?

Permit required

Yes. In Florida, plumbing fixture or repiping generally requires a permit, and New Port Richey 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.
