Orange County, FL – Water Damage Permits & Inspections

Orange County, Florida homeowners and businesses must follow the Florida Building Code and Orange County’s construction regulations, which are enforced by the Orange County Division of Building Safety. After water damage, tearing out drywall, insulation, flooring, or other wet materials may not require a permit if it’s strictly for remediation.

However, replacing drywall, insulation, or electrical wiring does require a permit and inspections under county and state building codes.

Any work involving structural repair or changes (like framing replacements or moved walls), electrical, HVAC, plumbing, or mechanical systems modifications must be permitted. This includes rebuilds after tear-out, drywall replacement, or rewiring flood-damaged circuits.

Statewide and local guidelines emphasize that if work exceeds minimal repair—and especially if it exceeds standard thresholds—it likely requires a building permit and possibly multiple trade permits (electrical, plumbing, mechanical). A Notice of Commencement may also be required if the value of the work meets the county threshold.

How to Apply & Inspection Process

  • All permit applications must be submitted via the Fast Track Online Services portal, which handles applications, payments, and inspection scheduling.

  • Informational appointments can be scheduled through the portal, but permit filing is not accepted in person.

  • Remote inspections are offered for select trades, such as final building inspections, roof-in, electrical undergrounds, mechanical, and plumbing change-outs, when video-capable staff are available on-site.
