Do I need a permit for plumbing fixture or repiping in Norwood?
Yes. In Ohio, plumbing fixture or repiping generally requires a permit, and Norwood 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. Plumbing permits and inspections are required through the Hamilton County Health Department, Plumbing Division, not the City of Norwood Building Department. Use an Ohio-licensed plumbing contractor and confirm the permit process with the Hamilton County Health Department before starting a repipe. Coordinate any related structural or drywall work with the Norwood Building Department if walls are opened.
