Plumber Service Areas Across Sarasota, Siesta Key and Nearby Manatee County
Who answers a water or sewer call depends on the address. Sarasota, Sarasota County and Manatee County each have their own utility and their own permit office, so this page is organized by that split.
Places with their own page
Each page below covers the questions that are particular to that place: which utility answers, which office issues permits, and what the housing there tends to need.

Three utilities and two counties inside one metro area
A plumbing emergency in Sarasota starts with a question that has nothing to do with plumbing: whose pipe is in the street? Three public utilities answer in this area, and their numbers are different.
| If your address is | Water and sewer calls go to | Phone |
|---|---|---|
| Inside the City of Sarasota, such as Gillespie Park or Rosemary District | City of Sarasota Utilities | 941-263-6884, option 2 |
| Unincorporated Sarasota County, such as Siesta Key or Palmer Ranch | Sarasota County Utilities | 941-861-6790 |
| Unincorporated Manatee County, such as Bayshore Gardens or South Bradenton | Manatee County Utilities | 941-792-8811 |
The simplest way to find out which one applies to you is your water bill. The name at the top is the utility that owns the pipe at your meter. If the problem is inside your walls, none of the three is the right call, and a plumber is.
Where the City, the County and the plumber each come in
- Every drain in the house is down: the blockage may be in the public pipe. Call the utility for your address first, then a plumber if the utility finds its side clear.
- One fixture is down: this is nearly always private plumbing. See clearing a single clogged drain.
- Water at the meter or in the street: a utility call.
- Water inside the house and still running: shut the main valve, then call. See what to do in the first ten minutes.
Permits follow the same line. Inside the City they come from the City Building Division on 941-263-6494. In unincorporated Sarasota County they come from County Building on 941-861-5000. Ask the plumber which office applies to your address, and who pulls the permit.
Checking your ZIP and street address against our coverage
The ZIP codes above are the ones we cover today. That list changes, which is why the safest check is a call. Give your ZIP code and your street address, and you will hear whether we can help. The call-only approach is deliberate: there is no form to fill in and no waiting for a reply by email.
Two well known addresses can help you place yourself. The Ringling Museum of Art, at 5401 Bay Shore Road, is on the road that runs through Indian Beach and Sapphire Shores. Marie Selby Botanical Gardens, at 900 South Palm Avenue, sits on the bayfront near downtown Sarasota. Call with your own street address and ZIP code, and you will hear right away whether we can help there.
If you already know what the problem is, you can read about it first. See every plumbing service we offer, or how plumbing prices are quoted before you call.
