Restoration in Wesley Chapel
Pasco County's Post-Storm Information page says that in a flood zone you must have a permit before any work, including demolition, renovation and repairs, except removing wet or damaged materials that could cause mold. All storm-related permits are expedited. Outside flood zones, listed repairs need no permit, for example roof repairs of 1.5 squares or less, patching drywall up to 256 sq. ft. in Zone X, and replacing glass in existing frames.
Special Flood Hazard Area land and commercial property get none of those exemptions. Electrical repairs always need a permit. Flood Development Review comes first and needs a Substantial Improvement/Substantial Damage package with photos, a floor plan and a scope of work. A home built after Nov. 18, 1981 with an Elevation Certificate, or one in Zone X, can skip the package. Wesley Chapel isn't a city, so its permit office is Pasco County Building Construction Services, 727.847.8126, option 5, open weekdays 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., with permits filed through PascoGateway.
The county's pages print no fee table or code edition. Its FAQ says unpermitted work is priced at double the usual fee and fined at least $50.00. By ACS count, Wesley Chapel's median year built is 2006, and its boundary meets FEMA's A, AE and AH zones. Pulling out wet drywall in a Wesley Chapel flood zone can start before any permit, but the repair that follows can't.
