Pasco County mobile home permit: ePermitHub step by step (2026)
How a mobile home set permit actually moves through Pasco County's ePermitHub in 2026 — the document package, Pasco's tighter setbacks, and where first-time applications get stuck.
May 8, 2026
Pasco County runs mobile home set permits through ePermitHub, its online portal — everything uploads digitally, and the reviewers work through the package item by item. Digital is faster when the package is right, and unforgiving when it isn't: a rejected item goes back into the queue. Here's how we file in Pasco.
Step by step through ePermitHub
- Create the application under the parcel — the portal pulls the parcel data, so the legal description and owner must match the county's records before you start.
- Upload the core package: installer worksheet, site plan, anchoring affidavit, skirting affidavit, and blocking plan.
- Record the Notice of Commencement with the clerk and add proof to the file.
- Attach the outside items: septic/OSTDS approval if on septic, the home's MSO or data plate info, the soil test, the installer's license number, and the manufacturer's model-specific anchoring plan.
- Respond to review comments inside the portal — each cycle has a queue, so a clean first submission saves weeks.
- Schedule inspections from the same portal once approved.
Pasco's setbacks are tighter than its neighbors'
On standard lots over 60 feet wide, Pasco's base setbacks run 15 feet front, 7.5 feet sides, and 15 feet rear, measured to the wall. That's friendlier than Polk's 25-foot front — but Pasco has more narrow and irregular lots, especially in its older platted areas, and that's where the envelope math plus the 75-foot well-to-septic separation decides whether your preferred home even fits. Map it before you buy the home, not after.
Where Pasco applications get stuck
- Parcel mismatch — the application owner doesn't match the property appraiser's record (common right after a land purchase; the deed hasn't caught up).
- Septic application filed separately with a different site layout than the building package.
- Flood zone surprises — parts of Pasco sit in zone A/AE where an Elevation Certificate is required; zone X needs nothing.
- Affidavits signed by someone other than the licensed installer of record.
Frequently asked
Is Pasco's ePermitHub faster than paper?+
Yes, when the package is complete — review cycles are visible and inspections schedule online. But every rejected item costs a full review cycle, so the speed advantage belongs to clean first submissions.
What setbacks apply to my Pasco lot?+
Standard lots over 60 feet wide start at 15' front, 7.5' sides, 15' rear, but zoning district and plat conditions can change that. We verify against your specific parcel before any site plan is drawn.
Do I need a separate septic permit in Pasco?+
If the lot is on septic, yes — the OSTDS approval runs through the health department as its own application, and its site plan must match the building package exactly.
