Plumbing in Midland
After 4 PM, Midland Code Administration won't accept or issue permit applications or payments. The office is at 300 N Loraine St #430, Midland, TX 79701, and residential permit requests go to permitrequests@midlandtexas.gov. Permits run through PermitMidland, and the property owner can get one, or the owner's contractor, who the page says must hold a license and be bonded. The Building Codes page, last updated 10/08/2026, lists the codes adopted by the city and effective July 1, 2019: the 2026 NEC, the 2018 IBC, IMC, IPC and IRC, the 2015 IECC and the 2015 IFC.
For plumbing work, that means the 2018 IPC. No Midland page gives a plumbing fee amount. Midland's 2025 Consumer Confidence Report, from the City of Midland Water Purification Plant (TX1650001), says there are no known lead service lines, no galvanized service lines requiring replacement, and no service lines of unknown material in the system. No hardness figure is printed in it. EPA assigns that plant's system to Midland by operator address, an address match, not a mapped service area; it serves 157,000 people.
