Permit required

Yes. In Oregon, plumbing fixture or repiping generally requires a permit, and Keizer is no exception.

BCD lists altering piping inside a wall, ceiling, or under a floor as work that needs a plumbing permit, and emergency replacement of concealed freeze-damaged or leaking piping needs a permit if the new piping exceeds five feet. The statutory exemption for ordinary minor plumbing repairs does not cover new construction, water heaters, or underground plumbing (ORS 447.072). An owner may do plumbing on a building they own (ORS 693.020), but a business doing plumbing for hire must hold a plumbing contractor license (ORS 447.040).
