Do I need a permit for plumbing fixture or repiping in Edgewater?
Yes. In Florida, plumbing fixture or repiping generally requires a permit, and Edgewater 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 Edgewater
Volusia County's own permitting office is the Building and Code Administration Permit Center, reachable on 386-736-5929 at https://www.volusia.org/services/growth-and-resource-management/building-and-zoning/. It issues permits for the unincorporated county. If your city does not run its own building department, this is the office that will handle the job. Contractor licensing here is centralised across the county. Volusia County Contractor Licensing exists to provide a uniform system for regulating registered contractors in the unincorporated county and all the municipalities within Volusia County, with one stated exception, the City of Pierson. So unless you are in Pierson, your contractor's local registration runs through the county: 386-736-5929, clca@volusia.gov, 123 W Indiana Avenue Room 203, DeLand. The county lists state certified contractors under Florida Statutes Chapter 489 and licenses local specialty contractors under Volusia County Code Chapter 22, so ask which of the two your trade falls under. Edgewater requires a Plumbing Permit for piping work, and plumbing is expressly excluded from the city's under-$7,500 permit exemption. The Notice of Commencement must be recorded and posted on the job site before the first inspection.
