Steps
- 1
Establish jurisdiction
Use the exact situs address and boundary evidence. A New Port Richey mailing address can be unincorporated; mailing city is not controlling.

Open the issuer's official instructions
For unincorporated property, start with Pasco County Building Construction Services and PascoGateway. For municipal property, follow the city/town's current building instructions.

Check prerequisite local review
San Antonio requires city approval before Dade City Building Department submission. St. Leo requires a zoning-compliance step before Dade City building review. New Port Richey currently describes email or in-person building applications rather than Citizen Access Portal submittal.

Confirm project-specific submittals and fees
Ask the issuing office for current applications, plans, contractor documents, separate zoning/flood/fire reviews, fees and inspection requirements. This guide does not estimate fees or approval time.
