Do I need a permit for plumbing fixture or repiping in Chandler?
Yes. In Arizona, plumbing fixture or repiping generally requires a permit, and Chandler is no exception.
Repiping water supply or drain lines requires a plumbing permit and inspection in Arizona jurisdictions; opened walls must be inspected before they are closed up, and the applicable plumbing code edition is set by the local jurisdiction. Approved piping materials and connection methods can differ between cities and counties because each adopts its own code, so confirm accepted materials before purchasing. Chandler's manual states ordinary repairs do not include the addition, alteration, replacement, or relocation of any water supply, sewer, drainage, waste, or vent piping, so a whole-house repipe is not exempt and requires a permit. Any construction requiring a permit also requires a licensed contractor unless the owner-applicant performs the work (Arizona Revised Statutes 32-1121A, referenced on the permit application). Permit fees are doubled for work done without a permit, so pull the plumbing permit through Accela Citizen Access before repiping and call Arizona Blue Stake (811) before any excavation.
