Permit or no permit? What to know before your tub goes in
Answers on permits and shower-to-tub conversion for North Port, FL homeowners, before any work starts.
You have picked a tub in your head, but one question keeps coming back: does this need a permit? You worry that skipping one could cause trouble when you sell. North Port is in Sarasota County, and you want the answer before anyone sets a date.
Here is what a permit is. It is an approval from your city or county for some kinds of home work. Your answer depends on your exact project, which is why it pays to ask about yours and not a general one.
The project is smaller than a full remodel. Only the shower area is touched: it is removed, a Jacuzzi® tub is set, and new walls go up around it. Your floor and vanity stay. The tub, base, walls and extras you pick make up the plan. The install takes in as little as one day, and a second day is needed only rarely.
Make the permit question part of your design visit. The Love Your Bath designer comes to your North Port home, listens to what you want, and builds a custom plan with options and a free quote. That plan is what the permit question is really about, so ask it then. If you would rather hear it from the source, call your city or county office too. Hold off on scheduling until you have a clear answer.
Then you can move ahead without that worry. Cindy K. wrote that the salesperson "thoroughly explained the process and products." When the work is finished, you have a tub you chose and one less question hanging over a future sale.

"We contacted Love Your Bath to have our Roman shower redone. After talking to a representative, they scheduled, showed us what to expect, and from there it was game on. Vinnie was our technician that was a non-stop working professional. From his demolition to rebuild he left the job daily clean & ready for the next step. Once complete, we were very pleased with his care and work. I can seriously say that Love Your Bath and their staff are quality from the start. You will not be disappointed."
Other things people in North Port ask
is it a good idea to convert a tub to a shower
Think about who uses the bathroom today and in the next few years. A walk-in shower is easier and safer to step into. A tub matters more to families with small children. If the home has another tub, converting one is rarely a problem. Our designer will talk it through with you before you decide.
shower to tub conversion cost
The cost depends on the space, the tub you choose and the wall surround style. We replace only what is needed, so it is far less than a full remodel. A designer measures at home and gives you a free, written quote.
