On the board

Where in Orange County can I book plumbing?

The cities on the board today are Orlando (333,888 residents), Winter Park (30,444) and Maitland (19,511). 63% of the county's 1,528,002 residents live outside any city; for an address there, or in a city not yet on the board such as Apopka, send it first and HQ will say whether 1Stop can cover it.

Permits

Does plumbing work need a permit in Orange County?

Orange County requires a permit to replace a water heater, and offers a virtual final inspection for a water heater change-out or a re-pipe.

In unincorporated Orange County, permits come from the county's Division of Building Safety. Inside Orlando, Winter Park and Maitland, the city's own building department issues them, so the street address decides which office a plumbing job goes through.

Unincorporated Orange County: Division of Building Safety
Orlando: Permitting Services Division
Winter Park: Building and Permitting Services
Maitland: Building Safety and Permitting

Urgency

When is plumbing an emergency in Orange County?

Water that is still running, or sewage anywhere it should not be, is an emergency. There is no emergency response target yet: HQ calls back to say whether 1Stop can cover it, and a target is published once an approved vendor covers plumbing in the county.

If the water has already reached drywall, flooring or the unit below, send emergency restoration as well, so drying starts while the plumber stops the source. A slow drain in a unit that is still habitable is urgent: same day.

Licensing

What license does a plumbing vendor need in Orange County?

Plumbing work takes a Florida plumbing contractor license under section 489.105(3)(m), issued through DBPR.

For a property in Orange County, that means a certified license, or a registration that covers the property's city or county. 1Stop holds the license on file before it dispatches plumbing work.
