1. Am I required to get a plumbing permit to fix damage to my property from the weather?

In most cases the answer will be yes if you are having to use new piping and fittings etc.  To apply for a permit, go to My Government Online.

2. Who can apply for the permit? Do I have to hire a City registered plumber to do the work?

The property owner or registered plumber may apply. 

If the property is your homestead and you are completing the work with your own hands no registered plumber is required.

If the property is not your homestead OR you are not completing the work with your own hands, then a registered plumber is required.

3. My plumber has already completed the work, will I be in trouble?

The International Codes the City has adopted allow for emergency repairs.  A permit just needs to be applied for within 24 hours of the work being completed.

4. What fees will I have to pay for the permit and inspection?

No fees will be charged for any plumbing repairs resulting from the 2021 Presidents Day Winter Storm Event until April 16, 2021.  

5. Do I have to have an inspection done once the work is completed?

Yes.  We are able to do all inspections next business day as long as they are requested prior to 4PM the business day prior.

6. What if I don’t want an inspector inside my house due to COVID-19 concerns?

We offer skype video inspections upon request.
