Plumbing in Amarillo

A stand-alone plumbing permit in Amarillo is $72.00 on the Building Safety Department's fee schedule, and it stays valid for 180 days. Every permit also carries a $13.00 technology fee. The schedule itself prints no date. You apply through MGO Connect. If the house is your homestead, you can apply for your own permit; a plumbing contractor, on the other hand, can't register with the city without a Texas plumbing license, which the city calls the state minimum.

Building Safety's page lists the 2021 Plumbing Code (Ordinance 8091) among the codes adopted in 10/2023 and effective 1/2024. In January 2026 the city began a second round of field investigations to find lead service lines under the EPA Lead and Copper Rule, its 2025 Consumer Confidence Report says. Customers with a lead or galvanized-requiring-replacement line may need to flush longer, the report adds. Amarillo Municipal Water System, PWSID TX1880001, is tied to the city in EPA's data by operator address and reports 201,291 people across its system.

Amarillo's housing stock dates to a median year built of 1973 (ACS, 2020 to 2024). Building Safety is in the Simms Municipal Building, 808 S Buchanan St, Suite 104, Amarillo, TX 79101. Call 806-378-3041 or write to building@amarillo.gov between 8:00 am and 5:00 pm, Monday to Friday.
