Chapter No. 2026-62

May 7, 2026

Summary

The bill prevents municipalities and other political subdivisions from demanding that owners or builders of single‑family homes obtain a Department of Environmental Protection construction permit before issuing building or plumbing permits. Instead, owners must provide proof that they have applied for the state permit. It also makes anyone who begins construction of an on‑site sewage system before the permit is issued liable for any legal, financial, or safety consequences.
