Do I need a permit for plumbing fixture or repiping in Unincorporated Bulloch County?

Yes. In Georgia, plumbing fixture or repiping generally requires a permit, and Unincorporated Bulloch County is no exception.

Repiping or moving supply and drain lines requires a plumbing permit; a simple like-for-like fixture swap (for example a faucet) using existing connections is often exempt, but confirm locally. Concealed piping must be inspected before walls are closed, so schedule the rough inspection before covering the work. Bulloch County's own permitting office is the Bulloch County Building Permit and Inspection Department, reachable on 912-489-1356 at https://bullochcounty.net/permitting/. Its online permit portal is https://bullochcountyga-energovpub.tylerhost.net/Apps/selfservice#/home. It issues permits for the unincorporated county. If your city does not run its own building department, and many smaller Georgia 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. Sec. 4-50(a)(1) requires a permit before anyone replaces or alters a plumbing system regulated by the International Residential Code. Sec. 4-51(c)(1) requires licensed contractors for permitted work, except that an owner may install, alter, or repair plumbing, heating and air conditioning, or electrical in a single-family dwelling he or she owns and occupies. Inspections are requested by calling (912) 489-1356 or emailing inspections@bullochcounty.net the day before, between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m., with the permit number, inspection type, and contact information.
