Do I need a permit for plumbing fixture or repiping in Farmington?

Permit required

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

Under Utah's adopted IRC R105.2, stopping leaks and clearing stoppages are exempt, but replacing concealed defective piping with new material is new work that requires a permit. Utah adds IRC backflow provisions requiring certain backflow prevention assemblies to be tested at installation, after repair or relocation, and at least annually (15A-3-205). Minor fixture repair is exempt from plumber licensing, but modifying water, waste, or vent piping is not (Utah Code 58-55-305(1)(k)).
