Plumbing in Tamarac
Tamarac's fee schedule, effective 01/01/22, still cites the Broward County Amendments to the 7th Edition (2020) code. Tamarac's Building Code Information page puts the 8th Edition (2023) in effect from December 31, 2023. Broward County maintains the local amendments, and the city Building Department enforces them. Under Exhibit A, section F, a domestic water heater or tankless unit is $122.00, a solar pool or water heater is $130.00, a residential irrigation system is $130.00 and a water well is $130.00.
Up to 4 backflow devices cost $130.00. Replacing plumbing fixtures is $122.00 for one, $190.00 for up to five and $23.00 for each additional fixture. Because the schedule is dated 2022, confirm current amounts with the department.
