Q: Does a 100% Disabled Veteran have to pay for permits to replace a trailer if the one on the property is unpalatable

We inherited the property so we sold our house thinking it just needed a roof but after our house sold and we entered it was unpalatable so we have to replace it so we have somewhere to live but aren't sure of the steps for permits. We're in Pasco County Florida, not Orlando

A: Thank you for your military service.

As a 100% disabled veteran, you may be eligible for certain benefits and exemptions when it comes to permits and fees for replacing your trailer in Pasco County, Florida. However, you will still need to follow the necessary steps to obtain the required permits. Here's what you should do:

1. Contact the Pasco County Building Construction Services Department to inquire about the specific permits needed for replacing your trailer.

2. Inform the department about your status as a 100% disabled veteran and ask if there are any exemptions or waivers available for permit fees.

3. Gather the required documents, which may include:

- A completed permit application form

- Proof of your disability status (Veterans Affairs award letter)

- Site plan or survey showing the location of the new trailer

- Manufacturers' specifications for the new trailer

- Any additional documents required by the county

4. Submit your permit application along with the required documents and pay any applicable fees (if not exempt).

5. Once your permit is approved, you can proceed with replacing your trailer. Make sure to follow all local building codes and regulations during the process.

6. After the work is completed, schedule any necessary inspections with the Building Construction Services Department to ensure compliance with local codes.

It's important to note that while you may be eligible for certain exemptions as a disabled veteran, you will still need to adhere to the county's building codes and regulations. If you have any further questions or need assistance with the permit process, don't hesitate to contact the Pasco County Building Construction Services Department for guidance.
