Welcome to Central Permitting
Central Permitting Division's goal is to provide faster, more accurate processing of applications for building permits while complying with all local land development regulations.

We have an online permitting system Public Access to Permit Applications (PAPA) where homeowners and contractors are able to obtain simple permits online. View detailed information and instructions. Inspection requests are also available online, but a password will be necessary for you to be able to access these links. Forms to obtain a password as well as instructions for both contractors and homeowners are available.

Building Permit Applications
Building permit applications for compliance with floodplain regulations, zoning setback and coverage requirements, comprehensive plan, contractor licensing, and other local regulations. Services are provided in three locations:

• Dade City
• Land O' Lakes
• New Port Richey

Impact Fees
Central Permitting is also responsible for assessing and collecting impact fees: transportation, mobility, parks and recreation, libraries, schools, emergency services, hurricane mitigation, as well as the collection of resource recovery fees.

Rules & Regulations
The division assists in the administration of the flood damage prevention rules and regulations.

Preparation of Monthly Reports
Monthly reports prepared by the division include financial spreadsheets, building permits issued per location (New Port Richey, Land O'Lakes and Dade City) sorted by type of construction permitted, housing activity statistics, Permit Values Accumulation Report, Utilities Report of new structures and Health Department Report of building permits issued, which are using septic tank systems. Quarterly reports are prepared for State-mandated RADON collection and Pasco County transportation impact fee agreements.
