PERMITS & LICENSING
Permits and licenses in Jasmine Estates.
Permits and who issues them
Since Jasmine Estates is unincorporated, Pasco County issues the permit. Apply online on PascoGateway (Accela) using the county's home plumbing permit type, which lists water heater replacement, and include where the equipment is. Contractors can ask for a VuSpex video inspection on water heater swaps.
Pasco requires contractor information to be up to date in its system; outdated information is a common reason permits are turned down. The county also has a separate Owner is Contractor Registration Form.
