About each permit
Septic (OSTDS) Construction Permit and Commercial Operating Permit
The Florida Department of Health in Pasco County's onsite sewage page states that the Florida Department of Environmental Protection has implemented the septic statutes and rules since July 1, 2021, and that the county health department offices continue to do septic permitting and inspection. It cites Chapter 62-6, F.A.C., and states that operating permits are required for commercial septic systems; the office's forms list includes an Operating Permit and Business Survey Application. The fees are set statewide in Rule 62-6.030 as amended effective June 8, 2026, not by a county ordinance. The $150.00 annual operating permit is the line for a system serving industrial or manufacturing zoning or receiving commercial sewage waste. A business on a public sewer has no septic permit.
Public Pool Operating Permit
The Florida Department of Health in Pasco County's Pools and Spas page states that the Department regulates all public pools and bathing places as defined in Chapter 64E-9, F.A.C. The operating permit fees are set statewide in Rule 64E-9.015 (last amended July 20, 2016), not by a county ordinance. A fitness studio whose pool or spa meets the Chapter 64E-9 definition of a public pool holds this operating permit in addition to the county's construction permit for the pool, recorded above. A replacement copy of a permit, or a reissue for a change of ownership or name, carries no fee under the rule. Contact DOH-Pasco Environmental Health at 727-841-4425 or 352-521-1450, option 3.
