Tips

  • Unlike electrical, plumbing permits in Winter Park ARE issued by the local joint Building Department, not a state board — do not conflate the two trades' differing jurisdictional paths.
  • Sewer depth is governed by whichever water/sanitation district has jurisdiction over the specific parcel, not a single Town-wide number — confirm with the applicable district (Winter Park Water & Sanitation District or Grand County Water & Sanitation District No. 1) early.
