Plumbing Permit -
Residential
A residential plumbing permit is required for all new construction
involving plumbing. Renovations that involve new plumbing also require a
permit. An example is the addition of a second bathroom in your home.
This would require a plumbing permit even if that bathroom will occupy
existing space.
Moving existing plumbing or replacing existing pipe (example: changing
form galvanized to plastic), does not require a permit.
If you are in doubt as to whether your plumbing change requires a permit,
please call the City Building/Zoning Office at 419-468-2642.
Inspections needed:
Rough-In (before pipes are covered by insulation or drywall)
Final (upon completion, but before use or occupancy)
Note: It is your responsibility to call the City
Building/Zoning Office at 419-468-2642 at least 48 hours before rough-in
inspection is needed, and at least seven days before final inspection is
needed.
