About Hudson
Hudson is an unincorporated community on the Gulf coast of Pasco County with 12,944 residents at the 2020 census. It was established in 1882 and later depended on lumber, then shrimping and fishing. In the 1950s, dredging created the Port of Hudson neighborhood, and in the 1980s many homes, mostly mobile homes, were built along the canals. (Source: Wikipedia, Hudson)
That 1980s building wave puts many Hudson homes in the polybutylene era. Polybutylene was used in mobile homes as well as houses, and replacement programs from the class-action era covered mobile homes too. (Source: Contractor magazine, Nov. 1, 2002)
What's likely in the walls of Hudson homes
The year a home was built is the best first clue to its plumbing. These are general patterns, not a diagnosis. Remodels and past repairs change what is there, and a licensed plumber confirms it on site.
- Homes from the 1950s to mid-1970s commonly have copper or galvanized supply lines and cast iron drains under the slab.
- Homes built from about 1978 to 1995 may have polybutylene, the gray plastic supply pipe that many Florida insurers will not cover.

Permits for Hudson repipes
Hudson is unincorporated, so permits generally go through Pasco County Building Construction Services, which issues residential permits and handles building inspections. (Source: Pasco County Building Construction Services)
Your contractor should pull the permit, schedule the inspection and give you the paperwork. Insurers and future buyers often ask for it. Check any contractor's Florida license with the state's DBPR license search.
