Do I need a permit for plumbing fixture or repiping in McIntosh?

Permit required

Yes. In Florida, plumbing fixture or repiping generally requires a permit, and McIntosh is no exception.

Repiping, meaning replacing supply, drain, waste, or vent piping, requires a plumbing permit in Florida. A straightforward like-for-like replacement of a faucet, sink, or toilet, and clearing stoppages or fixing leaks, is generally exempt as long as no pipe or valve is moved or replaced. As soon as concealed pipe must be removed and replaced, it is treated as new work that needs a permit.

Florida and local notes for McIntosh

Marion County's own permitting office is the Marion County Building Safety office, reachable on (352) 438-2400 at https://www.marionfl.org/agencies-departments/departments-facilities-offices/building-safety. Its online permit portal is https://permits.marionfl.org. It issues permits for the unincorporated county. If your city does not run its own building department, and many smaller Florida municipalities do not, this is the office that will handle the job. The rough inspection has to happen before walls are closed, so confirm scheduling lead time when you pull the permit.
