What is a Plumbing Permit?

Answer:
If you are thinking about adding a family room with

a half-bath, be sure to pull a plumbing permit for the work needed to plumb the sink and toilet in that new bathroom.

A plumbing permit is an official document that allows a property owner to install, modify, enhance or otherwise perform work on a plumbing system in a house or other building.

Most state, city and town ordinances require property owners to take out a plumbing permit whenever any work is needed on a building plumbing system, to ensure best practices are followed and any governing regulations are met.

Some localities require that only licensed plumbers work on building plumbing systems, to prevent improperly installed and operating systems.
