Quick answer

Concrete patio contractors in Hudson work with two Pasco exemption sheets that treat flood zones differently, and about 62 percent of the ground we sampled here is in a flood hazard area. Our broom-finish patios run $7 to $12 per sq ft, so a 12 by 16 comes to $1,344 to $2,304, free written estimate.

Two Pasco sheets, one canal-front lot

Pasco County's Building Construction page still links an older exemptions sheet, dated 2/18/2026, that says its list does not apply to parcels in special flood hazard areas. The current one, revised 6/30/2026, lists "non-structural concrete flatwork, under 500 square feet (per parcel), not to be built on" and does not repeat that flood carve-out. The separate state-law rule for work under $7,500 does exclude "any work on a property located partially or entirely within a flood hazard area."

So here's the straight answer for an AE canal lot. The $7,500 route is out. On the current sheet's wording a small plain patio fits the flatwork line, but the older sheet says the list doesn't apply there, so get the county's answer in writing before the forms go in. We look up your zone on the FEMA map first, then draft the estimate with the permit step it assumes. The Hernando and Pasco permit guide lists the office and the online portal. Our concrete patio contractors page covers the build itself.

Which flood zone the patio sits in, and the V and coastal AE checklist

The flood sample inside Hudson's boundary came out about 58 percent AE coastal floodplain, 4 percent VE, 27 percent X minimal hazard and 12 percent X in the 0.2 percent chance coastal zone. Roughly six in ten points sat in a Special Flood Hazard Area, so check your own parcel and ignore the average.

Your zone changes the patio job. In V and coastal AE zones, Pasco keeps a separate "Checklist for V and Coastal AE Zone Design Certificates." Ask about it first if your patio is part of a larger project with a roof. Pasco also says fill placed in a floodplain needs cup-for-cup compensatory storage, so we don't promise to build the patio up with dirt. A patio poured at the existing grade, sloped away from the house, keeps added fill out of the question. That is why we, as concrete patio contractors in Hudson, give every number as a free written estimate after we see the site.

Port of Hudson fill, Jonesville sand and the Homosassa edge

History explains the ground. W.L. Hendry began digging inlets near Hudson Springs in 1950 and used the fill to raise ground for houses, which became the Port of Hudson neighborhood. The soil survey shows the other half. Jonesville fine sand is at about 22 percent of sample points and Paola fine sand at 19 percent (excessively drained). Udalfic Arents-Urban land, a filled and disturbed unit, is at about 15 percent, with Candler and Astatula sands behind them.

Canal spoil is less predictable than native sand and can hide pockets that settle once a slab is on top, so after stripping we probe the base and re-compact before the forms go in. The wet units are small, 3.7 percent each. Homosassa mucky fine sandy loam floods very frequently, and Myakka and Wabasso Variant sands are poorly drained. If your yard has one of those pockets, the patio needs more base and a firmer slope. A lanai door or a planter bed touching the slab all change where water goes, so send photos of the low spot after a rain.

Hudson Beach Estates, Gulf Island and the rest of the map

Subdivisions mapped here include Gulf Island, Pleasure Isles, Hudson Beach Estates, Sea Ranch of the Gulf, Signal Cove, Leisure Beach and Beacon Woods East, with US-19, Little Road, Hudson Avenue, Old Dixie Highway, Clark Street and Port Hudson Boulevard mapped inside. Robert J. Strickland Memorial Park at Hudson Beach and Hudson Branch Library are inside the community too. The median home here was built in 1984, and about a quarter of the housing units are mobile homes.

Take two jobs from that mix: a new slab behind a canal-front house, and a pad beside a manufactured home. The pad is plain flatwork as long as it stays open. Put a roof or screen room over it and it becomes a slab for a future structure, which needs a permit and sealed plans, so we send you to the county first. For the other side of the lot, see the Hudson driveway page. For everything else we do locally, see the Hudson concrete contractors page.

A slab that will carry a roof: what concrete patio contractors in Hudson ask first

Pasco's exemption sheet draws one more line: a slab "intended for a future structure requires a permit and plans stamped and sealed by a Design Professional." A screen room or a covered lanai is that kind of structure. Tell us if one is even a maybe. We'd rather quote a permitted slab with the footing than a patio you cut out later.

On waterfront jobs, Pasco's Permits and Forms page also carries a separate package for docks and seawalls. A patio set back from the wall is one permit question and the wall itself is another. Bring your survey to the walk-through so we can see where the wall and the patio edge sit.

What a Hudson patio costs at three sizes

Plain or broom-finish patios run $7 to $12 per sq ft. A 12 by 16 is 192 sq ft, or $1,344 to $2,304. A 16 by 20 is 320 sq ft, or $2,240 to $3,840. An 18 by 26 is 468 sq ft, or $3,276 to $5,616, still under the 500 sq ft line. Stamped work is priced separately at $12 to $22 per sq ft, so a 300 sq ft stamped pour is $3,600 to $6,600. Our stamped concrete vs pavers guide compares it with pavers.

Four things move the number here: tear-out of an old slab, soft fill under it, access to the back of the lot, and a permit step if the county asks for one. Each is a separate line in the free written estimate, so you can compare concrete patio contractors in Hudson line by line. If an older slab here is level but worn, start with the concrete repair and resurfacing page.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

What do concrete patio contractors in Hudson charge for a 12 by 16 on a canal lot?

A 12 by 16 patio is 192 sq ft, so $1,344 to $2,304 at $7 to $12 per sq ft. A canal lot can add a line for soft fill under the old slab, access for the pour or a permit step if the county asks for one. Each shows up separately in the free written estimate.

The county site links two exemption sheets. Which one applies to my flood-zone patio?

The newer sheet, revised 6/30/2026, lists non-structural flatwork under 500 sq ft with no flood carve-out. The older 2/18/2026 sheet excludes flood-zone parcels. Ask Pasco Building Construction Services which one covers your parcel, and get the answer in writing before you rely on it.

I'm in a coastal AE zone and may add a screen room later. Should the patio be poured for that?

If a screen room is a real possibility, the slab is for a future structure, which Pasco says needs a permit and sealed plans. In V and coastal AE zones the county also keeps a design-certificate checklist. We quote the permitted slab first, so you don't pay to cut out a plain one.

Do my patio, walkway and side pad share one 500 sq ft total?

The county's wording is non-structural flatwork under 500 sq ft per parcel. Add up everything you plan to pour on the parcel, then ask Building Construction Services how it counts a walk or side pad. We total your plan on the estimate so you see the number before the county does.

My Port of Hudson patio sank on one side. Replace it or fix it?

The Port of Hudson lots were raised with canal fill, so a sunken side can mean the base moved. We probe the ground. If the slab is cracked or tilted, we price a tear-out and a re-compacted base. If it's only rough or stained, resurfacing is the quote-only first step.

A neighbor poured a patio without a permit. Can I do the same?

Pasco's after-the-fact permits cost double plus at least a $50 fine, and permits expire six months after issue or the last passed inspection. Small flatwork under 500 sq ft may need none, but a flood-zone lot or a slab for a roof is different. Confirm yours before the pour.
