Do You Need a Permit for Sewer Line Repair in Dallas?
When City of Dallas plumbing permits and inspections apply to sewer work, and who pulls them.
When a permit applies
Replacing or substantially repairing a building sewer is plumbing work regulated by the City of Dallas, and generally requires a permit pulled by a Texas-licensed plumber. Neighboring cities like Richardson, Garland and Irving run their own permit offices.
Why the inspection matters
The inspection verifies slope, materials, bedding and connections before backfill. A permitted, inspected repair also avoids problems later when you sell the home.
Licensing in Texas
Plumbers in Texas are licensed by the Texas State Board of Plumbing Examiners. You can look up any plumber's license number on the board's public site before hiring.
A licensed plumber handling a permitted sewer replacement pulls the permit and schedules the inspection for you.
