One coast. Several permit and project decisions.

Start with the actual government boundary

New Port Richey and Port Richey are separate cities. Nearby postal addresses can lie in unincorporated Pasco, where the county is the local building-permit starting point. Match the parcel to the right jurisdiction before comparing rules, fees or permit records.

What changes a county marine application?

• Canal-end or converging side-use lines bring a riparian-survey requirement.
• Individual in-water structures need separate applications.
• Condominium slips need association authorization.
• MPUD-zoned lots need an HOA approval letter.
• Drainage plans may be required even outside mapped high-risk flood areas.

Choose the guide for your waterway

Use the coastal directory to move from a county rule to your neighborhood’s access, channel and ownership questions. The guides cover the Cotee riverfront, Gulf Harbors, Hudson-area canals, Aripeka and the Anclote side of Holiday. They do not identify a local office or promise contractor availability.

Separate fee evidence from construction prices

The county’s specific dock/seawall site-examination and site-inspection items are $60 each. General base fees and plan review can add charges. The cost guide explains these components and shows published planning ranges and lets you organize a contractor’s written quote.

How should you use public sources?

This website is an independent publisher and referral service, not Pasco County or a government program. Follow the agency’s current application instructions and retain the written decision for your parcel. Public construction budgets and channel studies do not set the price of your private seawall.

How do you turn regional guidance into a parcel plan?

Bring those two pieces together in one brief: parcel identity, existing structures, proposed work and unresolved constraints. A countywide article can explain the process, but it cannot determine your property line, riparian space, present canal depth or final design.

Which records should stay together?

Use the same project name and date convention across folders so a future owner or manager can follow the sequence. Mark superseded drawings clearly. When a source is time-sensitive, such as an agency fee or channel project stage, keep its date and check it again when the project becomes active.
