Do I need a permit for plumbing fixture or repiping in Sharonville?
Yes. In Ohio, plumbing fixture or repiping generally requires a permit, and Sharonville 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. In Sharonville, plumbing permits are obtained from the Hamilton County General Health District by a licensed plumber, not from the city building department, so a whole-house repipe is permitted and inspected through the county. The Hamilton County General Health District can be reached at 513-946-7800 to confirm plumbing permit requirements and inspections for your repipe. If the repipe is part of a larger remodel involving structural, electrical, or HVAC work, those portions may need a city permit on the Application for Building/Electrical/Zoning Approval, so confirm the full scope with the Sharonville Building and Zoning Division.
