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

Permit likely required

Most likely yes. Plumbing fixture or repiping usually requires a permit in Georgia. Confirm the specifics with Nelson.

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. Pickens County's own permitting office is the Pickens County Planning and Development office, reachable on 706-253-8850 at https://www.pickenscountyga.gov/171/Planning-Development. Its online permit portal is https://ga-pickenscounty.civicplus.com/296/Inspection-Request. 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.
