Permit equals inspection
The DallasNow guide ties the two together: permitted plumbing work must be inspected and approved before use. Jobs that typically need a permit are covered in Do I need a plumbing permit?.
Jobs homeowners often forget
- Water heater replacement
- Gas line for a new range, dryer or outdoor kitchen
- Moving fixtures in a remodel
- Sewer lateral repair or replacement
- Repiping or service line replacement
Confirm before you start
Fees, required inspections and processing details change; confirm the current requirements with Dallas Development Services (Planning & Development) before work starts.
