Examples of work requiring plumbing permits include all interior plumbing, water service repair, new water connection, sewer service repair, new sewer connection, reconnect water or sewer service, all interior gas piping, hot water tank, abandon water and/or sewer service, disconnect water and/or sewer service, and boiler work.
