Yes. In Ohio, plumbing fixture or repiping generally requires a permit, and Scioto Township 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.
