Permit may be required

It depends. Whether bathroom remodel needs a permit in Unincorporated Crenshaw County comes down to the details of your project.

There is no statewide Alabama list of interior work exempt from permits; the locally adopted code decides whether a bathroom remodel needs a permit. Moving drains or supply lines, adding circuits, or moving walls is the work local programs most commonly permit; tile, vanities, and paint alone usually are not. A property owner may do plumbing work in a building they own or occupy, but the work is still subject to inspection and approval under state law and local ordinances (Code of Ala. 34-37-15). A remodeler working for someone else needs a state Home Builders Licensure Board license when the cost of the job exceeds $10,000. This remodel moves plumbing, adds a tub or shower, or changes wiring, exhaust venting or walls. Like-for-like fixture swaps are the part of a bathroom remodel most often exempt; moving pipes and new wiring are not. Plumbing and electrical work each normally need their own permit and rough-in inspection before the walls are closed, so schedule inspections before drywall or tile backer goes up. Bathrooms have specific electrical safety rules, such as ground-fault protection on outlets, which the electrical inspection checks.
