On the board
Where in Seminole County can I book plumbing?
The cities on the board today are Altamonte Springs (48,000 residents) and Lake Mary (16,789). 47% of the county's 491,884 residents live outside any city; for an address there, or in a city not yet on the board such as Sanford, send it first and HQ will say whether 1Stop can cover it.
Permits
Does plumbing work need a permit in Seminole County?
Seminole County requires a permit to replace a water heater, but not to replace a toilet, sink or faucet in the same location.
In unincorporated Seminole County, permits come from the county's Building Division. Inside Altamonte Springs and Lake Mary, the city's own building department issues them, so the street address decides which office a plumbing job goes through.

Urgency
When is plumbing an emergency in Seminole 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 Seminole County?
Plumbing work takes a Florida plumbing contractor license under section 489.105(3)(m), issued through DBPR.
For a property in Seminole 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.
