LOCAL RESEARCH / Kissimmee
Planning your work
The City of Kissimmee's permitting notice describes the state law in effect from 1 July 2026 as removing the permit requirement for a narrow set of small, non-trade home projects, and states that electrical, plumbing, mechanical or gas work needs a permit with no exceptions. The exemption route applies only under $7,500 and outside a flood zone, and an approved form is kept on site for the duration of the work. Osceola County permits addresses outside the Kissimmee and St. Cloud city limits, so a Kissimmee address is handled by the city. Confirm which applies before chimney, flue and fireplace work begins.
