& Permit Services

New Port Richey has significant Zone AE (high-risk) and Zone VE (coastal high-risk with wave action) areas, particularly near the Pithlachascotee River, Cotee River, and Gulf coastline. Zone X properties are generally lower risk but may still require flood insurance. Always verify your specific property's zone through FEMA's Flood Map Service Center.

Yes. Any structural renovation, addition, or repair on a property in a Special Flood Hazard Area in New Port Richey requires Pasco County floodplain review. Projects that reach the 50% substantial improvement threshold must bring the entire structure into floodplain compliance.

If your New Port Richey property is in a flood zone and repair or improvement costs exceed 50% of the structure's pre-work market value, FEMA's substantial damage/improvement rule applies — the entire structure must meet current floodplain standards, typically including elevation to the Base Flood Elevation (BFE) plus freeboard.
