Application readiness
Project-specific application handoff
This separates confirmed filing facts from official starting routes and missing details. A mapped link is not presented as a verified fee, attachment list or parcel determination.
Still requires confirmation: application page, fee calculation, required documents, final closeout steps, parcel jurisdiction.
Where to start
This is an official city application hub; the exact record type still needs confirmation.
Open official Orlando permit application hub city application hub — select and confirm water-heater plumbing, gas and electrical scopeWho may file
Use the eligible owner-builder or Florida-licensed contractor identified for the Orlando record and each regulated trade.
How to verify cost
Use the official fee route after the record type and full scope are confirmed; no project total is asserted here.

The direct evidence supports this preparation step, but not a complete attachment inventory: Give Orlando Permitting Services the equipment data, fuel, capacity, location, venting, drain and connection changes and confirm the exact project scope and record before work begins.

A practical permit path
City of Orlando and unincorporated Orange County maintain separate permit systems. A mailing address or ZIP code does not establish the issuing authority.
Document the equipment, location, connections and any related structural, electrical, plumbing, fuel or fire work.
Ask Orlando Permitting Services which permit type applies and whether the homeowner or a locally qualified contractor must apply.
A final inspection typically checks the permitted installation, safety controls, venting and connected trade work.
Conditions that change the answer
Same type and location
A like-for-like replacement may use a simpler trade permit than a conversion or relocation.
Fuel conversion
Switching between gas, electric, heat-pump or tankless equipment can add electrical, gas and ventilation work.
Garage or attic location
Protection, access, drainage, elevation and combustion-air rules can change the installation details.
Inspection and close-out
A final inspection typically checks the permitted installation, safety controls, venting and connected trade work. Keep the approved documents, inspection results and final permit record with the property files.
