Government permit fees
Hillsborough County publishes its current permit fee schedules at hcfl.gov. Ask your contractor to list government fees separately from design and permit-handling charges.
Start with the full project description
A finish replacement and a remodel involving structural repairs or equipment changes present different questions for permit review. Ask the permitting authority to determine what your scope requires instead of relying on a general statement that pool work does or does not need a permit.
For a Valrico property, confirm the authority responsible for your location. Include proposed changes to tile, coping, decking, lights, plumbing, equipment and screen enclosures in your inquiry.
Put permit responsibilities in the contract
Ask the contractor to state who will prepare any application, supply required documents, arrange inspections and complete the approval process. Request permit information for your records when a permit is required.
Verify the contractor's current Florida license and its scope before signing. Ask the permitting authority how to check permit status and confirm completion for your project.
Discuss hurricane, wind and drainage issues
When a remodel includes a screen enclosure, covered structure or equipment anchoring, ask how applicable Florida wind requirements will be addressed. Have the contractor identify any necessary design documents and approvals for those changes.
Discuss weather protection and the draining plan before work begins. Ask how the contractor will assess groundwater conditions and confirm an acceptable discharge method for your property.
Check HOA approvals separately
If your Valrico or Bloomingdale property has an HOA, ask about approval requirements for visible materials, enclosure changes and contractor access. Give the contractor any applicable community requirements before finalizing the scope.
Confirm government permit requirements separately. HOA approval should not be treated as a determination that government approvals are complete.
Confirm fees and scheduling directly
Permit-related cost varies; get several quotes and confirm applicable fees with the permitting authority. Ask the contractor how review, inspections and weather could affect the proposed schedule without assuming a fixed completion period.

Questions homeowners ask
Does resurfacing always require a permit?
Ask the applicable permitting authority to assess your exact scope. Describe finish replacement separately from structural repairs, electrical work, plumbing changes and enclosure work.
Who should handle the permit application?
Have the contractor explain the required process and put application, inspection and completion responsibilities in the contract. Confirm those arrangements with the permitting authority if anything is unclear.
Do hurricane rules affect a pool remodel?
Ask about applicable wind requirements when the scope includes enclosures, covered structures or equipment anchoring. The contractor and permitting authority should identify requirements for the proposed changes.
Can RG Holdings obtain permits or perform the work?
No. RG Holdings operates the referral service and does not perform, sell or install pool work. Discuss permit responsibilities with the independently licensed contractor you choose.
