Do I need a permit for plumbing fixture or repiping in Sherman?
Yes. In Texas, plumbing fixture or repiping generally requires a permit, and Sherman is no exception.
Re-piping a home water supply or drain lines requires a plumbing permit and must be performed by or under a licensed plumber in most Texas cities. Opening walls for the re-pipe can add a cover inspection before closing up. Confirm the required inspections with your local building department. Sherman requires a permit to replace or add any plumbing system. Sherman's plumbing amendments (Code section 3.03.006) bar PVC cell core and foam core pipe in the ground unless installed to the manufacturer's specifications. Every sewer replacement requires a new sewer tap, and a sewer repair within 5 feet of the city main requires a new tap unless the Building Official approves otherwise.
