Replacing a water heater in Holiday.
Yes, you need a permit. Holiday is unincorporated, so Pasco County issues it: a $45 base plus $10 per system part, under the fee schedule effective July 1, 2026. The county's plumbing checklist lists water heaters and asks where the equipment is. Duke Energy supplies power, and Pasco County Utilities supplies water.
Holiday is an unincorporated community in Pasco County, so county offices handle permits.
