South Tampa, with its family-friendly atmosphere and desirable location, seems like the perfect spot for the Zombie House Flipping crew to sink their teeth into a new project. In this week’s episode, they’ve targeted a four-bedroom house ripe for transformation. But as any seasoned renovator knows, looks can be deceiving, and even the most promising properties can harbor hidden headaches. This time, the potential nightmare isn’t lurking in the foundation or behind the drywall; it’s lurking in the local permit office.

While the house itself presents the usual challenges – a roof in dire need of replacement, outdated interiors, and the general wear and tear of a neglected property – it’s the bureaucratic red tape that threatens to derail the entire flip. Dolmar, never one to back down from a challenge, finds himself locked in a battle of wills with the permit office. Will his persistence pay off, or will the project become mired in paperwork and delays?
