Prepare an unincorporated Pasco residential addition application

Unincorporated County

Pasco County publishes a residential addition checklist and PascoGateway online portal. The 3-page County PDF still cites the 2020 Florida Building Code, 7th Edition and earlier energy standards. As of October 22, 2026, the Florida Building Commission identifies the 2023 Florida Building Code, 8th Edition as the effective code, with adoption of the 2026 9th Edition pending its stated December 31, 2026 effective date. Verify the permit application date and applicable amendments with Pasco. The older checklist is a research inventory, not verified current filing requirements.

Steps

  1. 1

    Verify exact parcel and County authority

    Use official GIS parcel and municipal boundaries; the listed Pasco County process is scoped ONLY to verified unincorporated property.

  2. 2

    Read the County's residential addition checklist

    Official 3-page checklist lists surveys, site plans, flood/drainage details and conditional engineering; its 2020 FBC 7th Edition citations are superseded. Florida Building Commission identifies the 2023 8th Edition as current on October 22, 2026. Confirm the code effective on the actual permit date before relying on any item.

  3. 3

    Check project-specific supplements

    The checklist mentions conditional owner-builder disclosure, subcontractor verification, flood hazard materials and other requirements. Its dated monetary thresholds and example forms must be reverified before an applicant relies on them.

  4. 4

    Apply through the official PascoGateway portal

    Use the County's Accela PascoGateway site for electronic applications. The live portal was reachable from StartFL's server, but a project-specific application, required selections and final fee schedule have not been certified.

  5. 5

    Obtain current official fees and inspection instructions

    Do not use code editions, timelines or monetary thresholds from the older checklist without written confirmation from Pasco Building Construction Services.

Good to know

NOT a complete/paid filing packet. The 2020 code reference, 2017 energy forms, NOC threshold, missing project details and current adopted fees must be reverified. Pasco's PDF checklist is a GUIDANCE DOCUMENT, not a downloadable permit application form.
