Plumbing in Garland
Garland's Development and Permitting Center lists seven plumbing permit types: Gas Relays, Gas Test, Irrigation Installation, New Gas Service, Sewer Repairs, Under-Slab Repairs and Water Heater Replacement. On non-residential projects only a master plumber or an irrigator holding a license may get a plumbing permit. A Technology/Equipment Surcharge applies and isn't refundable, but the plumbing list prints no dollar amounts, so get the fee from the counter. Garland's Building Permit page says the city currently adheres to model codes that include the 2015 International Plumbing Code and the 2015 International Fuel Gas Code.
