The requirements below come from Alabama rules. They are not a statement that Unincorporated Chambers County issues or does not issue permits.

Permit likely required

Most likely yes. Plumbing fixture or repiping usually requires a permit in Alabama. Confirm the specifics with Unincorporated Chambers County.

Plumbing work done without a state certificate under the owner exemption is still subject to inspection and approval under state law and local ordinances (Code of Ala. 34-37-15). A property owner may do plumbing work in a building they own or occupy; hired plumbers need a certificate from the Plumbers and Gas Fitters Examining Board. Alabama has no state plumbing inspection program for homes; inspections come from the city or county. Work that moves or replaces pipes, rather than swapping a fixture, alters the plumbing system itself and is not covered by fixture replacement exemptions. Pipe work normally requires a plumbing permit, a pressure or air test, and a rough in inspection before walls are closed, and many jurisdictions require a licensed plumber to pull the permit.
