How to obtain a plumbing permit

July 24, 2022by adminUncategorized

Making upgrades to your home can be a fun and fulfilling activity. On top of boosting your quality of life, you can get a great sense of satisfaction upon completing a job. But before you even think about getting started on that plumbing project, it pays to learn more about the necessity of plumbing permits and what it takes to get permission from the city.

Interested in understanding how it all works? Here’s how to obtain a plumbing permit so you can go ahead with your remodeling project.

WHEN TO APPLY FOR PLUMBING PERMITS

Often the scale of a project is the determining factor when it comes to needing a plumbing permit for your job. Homeowners who want to conduct relatively simple tasks, such as installing a new faucet, typically don’t need to seek permission.

When it comes to big projects that will directly affect your home’s plumbing system, however, it’s likely you will need a permit. The following projects commonly require a permit: repiping, drain line replacements, sewer line replacements, water heater installations and anything to do with relocating plumbing.

Keep in mind permit requirements may change for different cities. Some ask for permits to conduct specific tasks while others may not. We recommend you check with Fort Worth, TX municipal regulations before starting.

PERMITS ARE DESIGNED TO PROTECT HOMEOWNERS

Although it might not exactly feel like it, the permit application process is designed to protect homeowners. Getting the correct permits grants you access to municipal reviewers and inspectors from whom you need to gain approval to proceed with different parts of your project.

It’s their job to ensure everything you do complies with local plumbing codes and zoning laws. In addition, plumbing permits can also be used as evidence you’re being compliant with sanitary and safety concerns. This may include potential issues with neighbors and nearby structures.

Those who aren’t carrying the right permits may be fined by the city. There may also be complications if you try to sell your home. But most importantly, without these permits, you may inadvertently begin a project without any assurance it meets code and minimum safety requirements.

COSTS OF ACQUIRING PLUMBING PERMITS

Different cities have different rates for permits depending on what the project involves and the type of building you’re working on. It could cost between tens and hundreds of dollars for each permit.

Cities may also change the price depending on how many fixtures you want to install or offer packages, which charge more for installing items beyond the threshold. In some cases, there may be an application fee.

If you find yourself confused by the process and need help with getting permits, you can always ask a local Fort Worth plumber for advice.
