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

Permit required

Yes. In Georgia, plumbing fixture or repiping generally requires a permit, and Smyrna 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. Cobb County's own permitting office is the Cobb County Development and Inspections, reachable on 770-528-1000 at https://www.cobbcounty.gov/community-development/building-development/permitting. Its online permit portal is https://cobbca.cobbcounty.gov/CitizenAccess/default.aspx. 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. A repipe that is not part of an active building permit needs a standalone Plumbing Permit, and if the job also involves another licensed trade, Smyrna requires a Residential Building Permit instead. Required inspections are set during plan review and printed on the permit, and inspections requested by 4 p.m. are scheduled for the next business day.
