Plumbing Permits

Plumbing Permits

Plumbing permits are issued for a variety of plumbing work for new construction, alterations, and repairs to residential and commercial properties for all interior and exterior plumbing work. The plumbing inspector assists in the initial application process, plan review stage, and continues with field inspections until the final inspection is complete, ensuring all work meets minimum code requirements.

Grease Interceptors

Plumbing permits are issued for the installation or replacement of both hydro-mechanical and gravity grease interceptors. All food establishment owners, plumbers, or designers must complete and submit the grease interceptor checklist form to the Inspection & Construction Services Division for review before performing any work. The plumbing inspector will review the submitted checklist form, and upon approval, the plumbing permit will be issued, and work may begin. Learn more about the City's Fats, Oils, and Grease (FOG) Program.
