About Parrish
Parrish is an unincorporated community in northern Manatee County near US 301 and State Road 62. It is named for Crawford Parrish, who bought land there with his wife in 1868. Its post office opened in 1879 as "Parish," and the spelling was officially changed to "Parrish" in 1950.
A late-1930s state guide called it a citrus and vegetable shipping center. It stayed a small farming community until the late 2000s, when farmland began to be turned into subdivisions. The Florida Railroad Museum runs weekend passenger rides from Parrish to Willow.

New subdivisions and rural lots in Parrish
Many Parrish homes are new, in HOA communities with screened pools, and the most common projects are adding features to a builder pool or making the first equipment upgrades. Rural properties with acreage are also part of Parrish.
In newer communities, architectural review is common, so plans for deck color, enclosure style or a new outdoor kitchen should go to the association first.

One thing to plan for in Parrish
If you bought a new home without a pool, find out your community's rules on pool placement, fencing and enclosures before you request estimates. Some neighborhoods also restrict construction hours and access.
Parrish permit basics
For unincorporated addresses, the permitting office is Manatee County Development Services, which moved to 9000 Town Center Parkway in Lakewood Ranch. Contractors apply through the Online Services Portal; the permit line is 941-748-4501 x3800.
As a rule of thumb, anything structural, electrical, gas-fired or new usually needs a permit, and a straight finish refresh often does not, but the office decides. A new pool must also meet Florida's Residential Swimming Pool Safety Act, which requires at least one approved barrier or alarm feature.
Your Parrish checklist
- Get your HOA's architectural guidelines before design.
- On rural lots, mark wells and septic systems on the site plan.
- Ask who pulls the permit and who schedules each inspection.
- Get an itemized written estimate and a written schedule.
What projects cost
For a new in-ground pool, Angi puts the national average at $65,909, with most homeowners paying $44,499 to $87,349 and Florida projects ranging from about $38,200 to $101,328. A screen enclosure adds roughly $6,000 to $12,000 in Florida, according to HomeGuide. Screen enclosures wear out on their own schedule. HomeGuide says pool cages typically last 10 to 20 years before rescreening, with small repairs at about $200 to $600 and a full rescreen at $1,200 to $3,500; a new Florida enclosure runs about $6,000 to $12,000. An outdoor kitchen beside the pool averages about $16,533 nationally (Angi). These are national figures, not Parrish quotes; ask for an itemized estimate so you can compare bids line by line.
Next steps
Take a few photos of the pool, the deck and the equipment pad, jot down what bothers you about each, and then call 941-280-5955 or use the estimate form. With your consent, the request goes to a contractor who serves Parrish when one is available. They follow up, look at the pool in person and put a written estimate together. Submitting does not book anything.
