Do I need a permit for plumbing fixture or repiping in Dublin?
Yes. In Ohio, plumbing fixture or repiping generally requires a permit, and Dublin is no exception.
Repiping a home is plumbing work that requires a permit under the Residential Code of Ohio and is not covered by the minor-repair exemption regardless of cost. If walls are opened and re-closed, the framing patch and insulation may need to be inspected before cover; confirm the inspection sequence with your local department. Re-piping water supply or drain lines requires a plumbing permit from Dublin Building Standards, and the plumbing contractor must be registered with the city and hold the Ohio state qualification certificate. Dublin contractor registration requires a Certificate of Liability Insurance with at least $300,000 combined coverage naming the City of Dublin. Rough plumbing must be inspected and approved before walls are closed.
