đ§ BIG CHANGES IN FLORIDA PERMITTING LAW đ§
Floridaâs new building permit law (House Bill 803) is shaking things up. Starting July 1, 2026, most singleâfamily residential projects under $7,500 will no longer require a building permit. That means small upgrades and minor improvements just got a whole lot easier for homeowners.
But hereâs the part that matters most:
Permits are STILL required for any electrical, plumbing, structural, mechanical, or gas work â no matter the cost.
That means if your project involves water lines, drainage, sewer connections, or anything tied into your homeâs plumbing system, you still need a licensed professional. And thatâs where Southpaw Plumbing comes in.
Whether youâre planning a remodel, adding a fixture, or tackling drainage issues, hiring a licensed plumber protects your home, keeps you compliant, and ensures the job is done right.
If youâre unsure whether your project needs a permit or a pro, Southpaw Plumbing is here to guide you every step of the way.
Stay safe, stay compliant, and let pros handle the plumbing. đ ď¸đ§
