Do I need a permit for water heater replacement in Anderson Township?

Permit required

Yes. In Ohio, water heater replacement generally requires a permit, and Anderson Township is no exception.

Replacing a water heater is plumbing work (and gas or electrical work for the connection), so it generally requires a permit under the Residential Code of Ohio in jurisdictions that enforce the code. Switching fuel type, relocating the unit, or altering gas or venting adds work that is never covered by any exemption and requires a permit.
